We are a little over a week away! What is everyone doing to prepare? I am in a constant state of icing my knee / IT band (yes I lay my leg on the ice pack and ice it after I ice where my knee hurts) and foam rolling. Tuesday I attempted 10 miles but only ended run/walking 7.5 because my knee was killing me. Hopefully my 10 mile run this Saturday will be pain-free... Esp knowing that a Parkway po-boy and a beer is the reward at the end of the run!
I read on some website about a dixie cup ice massage or something like that... fill a cup up with water and freeze it. Once it's frozen peel off the cup and roll the ice up and down your IT band. I think I am going to try it.
I'm starting today to drink as much water as my body can hold (it's not much apparently!) and up-ing the carbs a little - my chicken spaghetti I made tonight was ok... probably b/c I used light cream cheese and low fat cream of mushroom soup, and low fat cheese!
This girl has some good tips on what to do race week:
Happy Ash Wednesday!
Oh - I bought a new Lulu top to go with my running skirt for the race. Can't wait to try it out!!
