Running in a typhoon!

Well, after purchasing the foam sadistic device last week, I was able to run almost ten miles on asphalt without much pain yesterday, and follow up with a 5k today. Prior to using the cylinder my IT Band would become excrutiatingly sore after approximately seven miles, and I would not be able to run the following day. This gives me great hope. There is now two months until I run the 25k, and with a little more effort and stretching I think I may make it. As for my goal of reaching 1000 this year, I am sitting at 74.5, with almost a week left in the month- right on track!
