First running injury!

I tweet and use Instagram almost daily to keep up with blogging as it seems quicker to just convey my thoughts but I will try hard to remember to blog. I did our 16 mile run a couple weekends ago! Was getting close to hitting the wall. Actually, I think already blogged about that I will have to go back and check so I'll just write about my running after that. It was a huge jump in mileage and I began feeling the effects slowly but surely! Last weekend we did the new Prague half marathon. It was ALL uphill it was awful! Not too cold but I wore a long sleeve and ended up taking that off. When we finished the race we found out later on the the results were not going to be correct because they mismatched the timing chip with the wrong bib numbers! What a joke! Foam rolling and ice packs and rest is what I am doing since then. Not sure if it was because of the jump in mileage or because of the hills or all the squats I do in addition to running but I pulled something on my left upper leg. Reading online about it it says IT band which is a very common runners injury. It is making me feel very sad about this weeks running as this saturday I have 18 miles scheduled!!!!! I am supposed to run tonight and can't. Boo.
