Iliotibial Band Syndrome and some hip bursitis as a result. RICE, or rest, ice, compression and elevation and stretching should help alleviate further pain and inflamation.
He said my backing off and resuming strategy was good and I could keep running and walking as long as pain was manageable. He also gave me a referral to their in-house sport medicine specialist if I wanted additional expert advice.
I'll be taking some OTC anti-inflamatories, cross-training and strengthening and massage to the effected area as needed. I was thrilled to run 5.75 miles without pain and found a consistent rhythm and a zone - very slow, but not walking - ha!
A special thanks to Deanna, Katie and Twyla for supporting me along the route yesterday. I love you all!
