You can completely keep up your fitness on the bike without aggravating your IT injury. My other suggestion would be Steve Lynn (303-947-2917), Sports Masseuse, but he's totally a guy-type masseuse (all pain, no frills). He'll give you exercises, he does some light ultrasound, and he's very knowledgeable about telling you when your injury would require further help from PT or others. I have only been injured once in the last year (multi-sport training rocks) but Steve was indispensable! Just my 2 cents! I second the cycling advise.

Hang tough... and don't rule out Lincoln yet. I think you should maintain your fitness for a week doing nothing but cycling... then try running easy for 3 or 4 days... rest for two... try some tempo... and just do an extended taper with longer race pace run about 10 days out. If you start feeling better, run the race. I think you will kill. BTW, you would NEVER wait a month to see a specialist in Canada... This is a uniquely American problem :) Nice job considering the injury, Simon. Hang tough… and don’t rule out Lincoln yet.
