I struggled with it until I finally got into the right shoe. I know it sounds simple but once I got in the right shoe all that pain went away. <BR/>Go to the runners world website and go through the injury section there is info on Runners Knee in there. Better that then an IT band, but the IT hurts on the outside of the knee, Runners knee just feels like a sore knee.Triseverancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15303357589405694565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5285752857039221790.post-46687705808866832192008-05-06T08:59:00.000-05:002008-05-06T08:59:00.000-05:00click click?it band??like the new look of your blo...click click?<BR/><BR/>it band??<BR/><BR/>like the new look of your bloggy!!!Bolderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11468747570730558685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5285752857039221790.post-83967742362654358422008-05-06T08:51:00.000-05:002008-05-06T08:51:00.000-05:00Take er easy my lady!

I have to wear heels all week at the hotel and be on my feel for 12 hours a day! Mental, for sure.<BR/><BR/>The day before my first half marathon, I fell down the stairs at work. Luckily I caught myself and didn't do too much damange.<BR/>Mental - yes again.<BR/><BR/>You'll do great.
