ITBS test run.  Ran the same route as two weeks ago when I first noticed symptoms.  Everything good for the first 12 miles, even with some minor downhill. Other than dragging hard, I flet good going up Malan's.  Noticed some tighness and minor pain on the descent. Some knee pain after then run.  Hip is more sore than the knee. Giving the test a B-, not as much pain and tighness as two weeks ago, but not great either. Probably gonna take next week off from running. Fun.

14 miles, 3500 vert.

Here's some other advice:

Before going to sleep at night lay on your back and put your legs in a froggy position. Allow your knees to spread and your hips to relax. This will loosen up your hips before sleeping, where inevitably they will tighten up a bit again. Then do it when you wake up.

Roll, stretch and rest. It seems like it is getting better, so taking a week off will probably be a good thing. You have been hitting it pretty hard the last few months.
