Well, maybe 3 hours is out of the question this year :)

I have hardly run for 6 weeks since the Vienna marathon. Every time I tried, I felt the ITB and have been very patient. Until Sunday 2 days ago that is. I am now starting to run again, but am being cautious. I feel something very slightly - not at all painful. But maybe I am imagining, not sure.

I wonder if it is rather scar tissue and I need to try and do small exercise to get through it and slowly dislodge it. I remember running through my left ITB with mild irritation and it eventually faded. Opinions welcome. 

It has been a bit frstrating as I paid for the Szekszard and Keszthely half marathons at the begining of the year, but there was no way I could get to them. 

So now, I guess the objective is to get back into fitness, probably running 5-6 times a week, for some weeks. The good thing is that when running 4 or 5km at a time, it doesn't take too long :) I don;t have to reserve a large period of time.

The other pleasing factor is that I seem to have kept the speed, my body doesn;t accept me slipping back to my speeds from a year ago
