This is a journal about my journey of running rather than the destination. I love to run, it has become one of my true passions. Road races, trail runs, or endurance events. It's all fun, I'm just not that competitive. Below are some highlights. Thanks for reading.

Second PT Visit, Pain Improving
Had my second PT visit today. Today, she did a round of phonophoresis with dexamethasone, which uses ultrasound (sound waves) to inject or enhance the delivery of the medicine into my ITB insertion point. She also gave me another Empi patch with dex too. The Empi patch is a multi-hour therapy, which electrically injects the anti-inflammatory into my joint over a 5 hour period (it's powered by a ring of watch batteries). This, in combination of Aleve twice a day, along with the various stretches that she has given me, and continued icing of the knee after every run is really helping with the pain. I feel that I might actually me making a significant improvement.
