I was injured (IT Band) for Portland marathon (fall 2010) but went and picked up my packet anyway. Ran Ogden 4:26....

Went to see Doctor Sarah Valac April 18 (Thur.) Had taken the morning off to ice and prop my leg. Went in at noon she wanted an MRI - really, it seems more like tendonitis - she then sent me to see PT Stephani Liddel. I ended up w/her associate who did the fork tuner test on my bone. I felt no pain and then we worked through a series of exercises scrape/rub down of lower leg to end w/ ice and electric current waves into my leg. I have been three times now (that day and Mon/Wed of this week. 

 After texting w/Sarah last night, we agreed that I could walk a mile today on TM to see how it is feeling.. I felt my lower left shin the first quarter mile then the next quarter mile it began to pull and became very uncomfortable. I stopped, stretched. Did tricep dips, pushups, crunches lots of yoga stretches. I also ended with hopping on my left leg just to see if it wold hurt. It did NOT hurt at all, so that is a good sign. While I sit here, it does not hurt, so I will slowly get back there!
