Are they open in the winter?<br /><br />I hope your ITB is feeling better soon! <br /><br />I will be doing a local turkey trot by my house. You predict your time and run without a garmin. People that are closest to their guesses win (versus age group awards). It sounds like fun as I've never done a race like that before. The winners get turkeys!

I've struggled with IT band issues on my left knee for a long time, and I wear Cho-Pat straps on both knees and am focusing on trying to stretch and strengthen my hips and glutes. What is this Myrtle routine you mentioned!?!??<br /><br />That beer event sounds awesome! And how exciting that you are doing two Turkey Trots in one weekend!!! Adam and I are going to be Pittsburgh to spend Thanksgiving with his side of the family, so I'm running a 5-mile Turkey Trot in Pittsburgh on Thanksgiving Day!emmers712https://www.blogger.com/profile/15865493476823978890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2659111169994174275.post-87889467917411417752012-10-28T20:28:07.146-05:002012-10-28T20:28:07.146-05:00Awesome pictures!

I also did a hip strengthening routine and stretched a lot and after awhile it got better. I find it flairs up on my weaker left side so I try to do exercises to keep in balance. I am doing the Schaumburg Half on Nov 24th. 2 5ks in 3 days sounds fine to me but I am a bit crazy when it comes to doing races:).

Sometimes it takes awhile for the body to get back into it. <br /><br />2 5ks in 3 days sounds a bit crazy, but hell why not? Thinking about registering for a 5k myself. Lakefront looks lovely, missing it like crazy right now.

They love visiting local breweries and picking up 6 packs of craft beers, and their influence rubbed off on me. For awhile I was really into belgian whites but lately I've been enjoying stouts and darker beers. I'll have to see if Goose Island offers any beer school for that!<br /><br />I'm signed up for the Beverly Turkey Trot on the south side the Saturday after Thanksgiving - they had a great deal on Schwaggle and with my Active Advantage membership, I was able to register for $12. There is also a 2.5mi race near me in the burbs on Thanksgiving day - if I end up not making any plans the night before and can get to bed early, I'm debating doing that. I'm curious about the shorter-than-5K distance.

I'd say just to keep cross training and I bet it will go away over time. Recently I've started to experience some of the same symptoms, and I think it's because I haven't done much cross training at all recently. I need to get back to it. <br /><br />Yea, I see what you mean about house and senate - the house guy in our district is Mike Honda, who is probably the most liberal guy in the entire house. I vote against him every 2 years, but he wins every time.

I registered for the Lincolnwood Turkey Trot on the Sunday before Thanksgiving. It was only $15 with a Schwaggle deal. Also, I may run the Lifetime TD5k as well. I wish it was still an 8k, however.Pete Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09655789227670205830noreply@blogger.com
