After my last run Thursday of last week my IT band has been bothering me. If I touch the side of my knee and press it feels sore. I used my foam roller yesterday, was so busy with family over and son sick that just got around to it last night. I used some icy hot and will ice it today. I have a 15k race on Sunday, do I just not run all week and take it easy and take care of the IT band? Or do I run easy and short distance until race day?

ha ha. Yeah, looks like I'm not alone. I got some really good advice and tips on this thread for almost the same issue:

I too suffer from ITB issues, and found Carson's blog post on how to treat and prevent it really helpful :-) http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/CarsonRuns0
