7.50 miles  at 4:30 this morning---this morning i found out what has been giving my left ITB all this fuss for the last 1 1/2 mo.  I like to run the greenbelt in the morning, The water, trees, and ok lights,  and i have always (always) ran in the same direction that is clockwise around the greenbelt.  This morning i started out and again the IT issue again like always, so i stopped to try and work it out an stuff and it dawned on my as to the slope on the road and sidewalks.  Running clockwise the slope is from left to right  and that maybe that may be what is giving me all the trouble, and started to go the other way around  and now slope is from right to left to see if it made any differance.  DAMN----ITB issue gone, i still felt it slightly only because it was sore before i turned around,  payed attention to the amount of % the loop had if i was going clockwise and it was a better part of 70% from left to right.  The left leg was hitting the ground higher then the right witch was the cause of all the problems. The last 5 miles was like i was running again and the lst 2 at MP  (very nice) try running after work.

5 miles after work with no issues with the ITB, just a nice and easy run, a little warm but no issues

Sometimes it is simple things that can help. I hope that change of direction (the camber on the roads can do nasty things to the body...think that bad section of Mesa Falls around mile 20!) can help and keep it getting better.

Sorry I haven't called you back, I had a crazy week. I will call you today or tomorrow.
