Oh, hey there IT band, I thought I’d lost you! #BESTFOOT

Wanna know something CRAZY, I still have an IT band. I hadn’t heard anything from it lately, I thought it left. Turns out, I.WAS.WRONG. (That might be a little dramatic)

I got some new shoes, apparently I don’t like them. My last few runs have been sub-par. My legs have felt achy, I thought I was getting shin splints, my feet have been hurting, and my IT band is starting to twinge. It’s not a full on “OH MY, my whole leg feels like it’s going to fall off” more like, “Hey, I’m here, you’ve been neglecting me.”

I’ll be honest, I haven’t been doing everything I should be doing. And I fixed that. I’m adding my PT a exercises back in, more stretching, foam rolling, got a different pair of shoes. It looks like the random pair of shoes I stumbled upon and feel in love with…are discontinued. I found a pair online on sale…but what do I always LOVE the shoe that gets discontinued?
