Plan F... (Lindsey)

I would like to amend Lauren's previous post by adding Plan F, which was devised after a visit to see the medical experts yesterday regarding this so-called IT band tear/pull/injury. See, while doctors would have me believe that crutches, rest, ice and elevation are all key to the long-term healing process, I am tempted to speed things up a bit -- and despite some evidence to the contrary, I remain quite confident that this story will have a happy ending. So, here is my plan.

Plan F - Lindsey gets a few shots of cortizone, runs the race pain-free, heroically crosses the finish line in record time, and celebrates with a good cup of her favorite coffee and perhaps an ice cream sundae!

I admit, It may not be as hilariously photogenic as the piggy-back plans -- but doesn't everyone prefer the happily-ever-after Hollywood ending? So keep your fingers crossed for us, and let me know if you have any medical tips (conventional or otherwise).
