IT band: Hey! HEY YOU! Blondie!<\/em><\/p>\n

Me: Hmmm? What?<\/p>\n

ITB: It’s me, your left IT band.<\/em><\/p>\n

Me: Oh hi. How are you?<\/p>\n

ITB: How am I? HOW AM I? You’re making me run 8 1\/2 minute miles. How the HELL do you think I am?<\/em><\/p>\n

Me: Pottymouth.<\/p>\n

ITB: Oh please. I’ve heard you say things that would make a sailor blush. So how do you explain yourself?<\/em><\/p>\n

Me: What do you mean? We’re running, like we always do.<\/p>\n

ITB: No, we’re NOT running like we always do. We’ve been going slow lately. It’s been nice. I was feeling good.<\/em><\/p>\n

Me: Well, I guess I felt we needed to mix things up a bit. You can’t improve unless you challenge yourself. Besides, we’re just doing short runs for a while; 6 miles at the most.<\/p>\n

ITB: But what’s up with trying to beat our personal bests? You’re not getting any younger, you know. You should take it easy, old girl.<\/em><\/p>\n

Me: Hey! Be nice. I’ve treated you well. Haven’t I been using the foam roller on you like our physical therapist wants?<\/p>\n

ITB: WHAT? You mean that medieval torture device? That thing FRIGGIN’ HURTS.<\/em><\/p>\n

Me: Inside voice, please.<\/p>\n

ITB: All I’m sayin’ is, if you don’t slow things down a bit I’m going to rebel. You’ll be lucky to be able to run 15 minute miles.<\/em><\/p>\n

Me: Okay, grumpypuss. I’ll slow it down this weekend. But I’d still like us to go fast on occasion. Will that be okay?<\/p>\n

ITB: Harrumph. What’s in it for me?<\/em><\/p>\n

Me: Well, you’ll ultimately get stronger. And you may start looking all sexy and lean.<\/p>\n

ITB: I suppose. But do we always have to go for a PB?<\/em><\/p>\n

Me: Of course not. I just wanted to see if we can do it. I’ll shoot for 8 3\/4 to 9-minute miles; how’s that sound?<\/p>\n

ITB: Hmmmm… Can we get a massage too?<\/em><\/p>\n

Me: You betcha! Now go to sleep and let the ibuprofen do its job.<\/p>\n

ITB: Nighty night.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
