I'm either cured or stupid. (I could be both.)

IT band in my left leg felt great today: no tenderness in the hip joint area. Last night I fell asleep with a cold pack on the tender area, but at the time it wasn't feeling bad at all. Putting the area on ice was just the habit I had formed and it feels great after the initial shock.

Today I did 20 minutes of Zone 2 followed by 1 hr 40 minutes of SST and then a nice long cool down (about 15 minutes) without a twinge. I think that I may have nipped in the bud. I have my fingers crossed.

Life is good, but talk to me tomorrow to see if I feel the same way.
