Thought I was going to have good news...

but I don't  :((((

I went out to run today.  For a glorious 2.5 miles I felt great - no pain in the IT Band AT ALL.  Then, out of nowhere, the pain came back with a VENGANCE.

I am so terribly discouraged.  I'm not sure what I should do at this point.  Suggestions and recommendations are actively being sought.

Here's one of the worst parts of it - I've been telling people that I don't even really like running that much.  I just like how much calories I can burn in a short time.  But when I started out - after not running for a week - I realized something - it felt really good.  I have truly missed running.  

This really, really, really SUCKS!
