REST!!!

ITB has improved & therefore no longer a problem. Plenty of stretching & physio seemed to do the trick along with strength work exercises (which is still on going). Still got problem with right side of hip bone though. A little frustrating, but its not stopping me running nor is the pain getting worse. Just need to keep an eye on it!
