Hey Erika - where does it hurt? It could be your IT band - which is an insanely common injury for a runner. Is it the outside of your thigh? If so, there's some great stretches and stuff you can do to help.
Next week I start my actual training for the spring distance tri in June. 5 days of week of regimented timed workouts. I'm psyched. This week I've slacked off. Work stress caught up with me and I sort of crashed. I walked a couple of miles on Tuesday and that's all I've done this week - though I am going to swim again today. I'm still okay for the tri on the 11th, though, I think. On 2/22/06, Erika L.
