Better than expected!

I must admit, I fully expected to get about a mile in today, and be forced to stop because my ITB was sore.  And, indeed, just before the half-mile mark, I could feel just a bit of ITB soreness.  Very faint, but I could tell it was there.  In the next 5 mins, the feeling went away, and didn't return.  So, I ran a second mile.

Things seemed just fine.  Of course, I was hyper-sensitive about the knee the whole time, but all in all, it felt really just fine.  No complaints.  I'm not willing to say that the ITB is all perfectly fine, but its certainly better than I expected.  I think I'll still hold the mileage back, and make sure I incorporate more rest days than the schedule is prescribing.

Run summary: 2 miles, 9:29 pace, HR ave 139 and cadence 85spm.

And yes, icing now.
