You might give it a read as it specifically mentions knees. Also, rolling your IT band on a foam roller may help alleviate (and prevent a recurrent of) the ITBS you're suffering currently.

There's a little voice in the back of my brain telling me that my next big running challenge should be an ultra. But I'm thinking more of a 50K than 50 miles! An Uultra, wow!

You definitely have the addiction. Take care of that leg and congrats on the new plans. How fun to have all these major races to look forward to. This lazy gal will live vicariously through you, so stay healthy, the better for me to enjoy your future escapades. You crazy man! You definitely have the addiction.

It's not worth it to blow your chance for a good time in Philly just for a 5-miler in the park with a bum knee. There'll be plenty of opportunities to do that. Glad also that you're signing for NYCM...I think it's a great race for us locals. You'll really enjoy it! Rest well and recover. Sounds like you already have a full schedule planned for next year.
