Starting Back Up

I forgot about my blog oops!

Let's see...

Tulsa Run is on Halloween this year, and that's about a week and 2 days away. But my Knee has been hurting me when I run for too long. I looked it up and it's Iliotibial Band Syndrome or ITBS. I ordered a strap for it the other day and it should come in the mail soon but I'm afraid to run without it but I need to train so that it doesn't get worse by trying to cram training for a 5k into a week. I ran last friday around the block twice and I know that doesn't sound like a lot but I need to start out slow so that it doesn't get worse. I'm excited to be in this race because I am going to give it my all and hopefully be in the top 10 of my age group (females of course). I got some new running shoes last week also and hopefully that will help my knee, but I need some heel supports for them. My friend was going to do it with me but she hurt her foot I guess, so I'll do it alone. I'll probably go for a jog today as long as it doesn't hurt... and if it does then I don't know if I can do the Tulsa Run.
If I don't end up doing the Tulsa Run then I'll do the Turkey Trot the weekend before Thanksgiving in Siloam Springs with my friend and that will be fun.
