I use a kitchen rolling pin so I can control the pressure more. Injury/pain sucks. I'm having extremely tender sides of my calves pain after sunday's 7 mile run. I've been icing and stretching. Feels better, but I know how frustrating it can be to do all that training and feel somewhat injured. Hopefully it will feel better soon.

Remember though that your Mom wants to run these races with you as an experience to share (speaking from a mother who runs with her daughter). It is terribly disappointing to have something like this happen so close to race weekend. I would definitely seek medical help.

My sports chiropractor does it, you can easily find someone in your area that does it, by doing an internet search. <br /><br />There is a certain flat, unpaved trail, around here, and every time I run it, I get ITBS on the right side (I quit running on it), and occasionally excess biking will cause it for me too. Biking is known to cause your ITBs to get tight and inflamed.<br /><br />Good luck!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4930457134828005115.post-14301000164480157012014-01-27T21:04:40.383-05:002014-01-27T21:04:40.383-05:00I hope your feeling better soon!

I tend to foam roll the heck out of it and lightly stretch it several times a day. Sometimes I end up at the chiropractor to get my pelvis realigned and that helps too.
