run on the flat
do a google search there is is good stretch where you cross your legs - **** your hip out and bend to the side - you want to stop after a mile and stretch
stop every 2 miles and make sure your band is not starting to snap and irritate your knee - if it is you are done for the day
deep tissue massage
foam roll - front side back of legs and your butt
there is also a couple of stretches for your glutes you can do laying on the floor
If you are in pain after a run find a chiropractor that does active release therapy
you have run 10 miles - this is enough to get you through your race - better to get to the start healthy than drop out half way through. do NOT cycle - this is more annoying for your IT band than running

Kelly;
Here is a good website that has a training schedule for a half marathon and full marathon. www.marathonrookie.com I completed this training and ran my first half marathon in May.
a 10 mile long run is sufficient for training for a half - I did my first 3 or 4 halfs running 10 miles in training and then running 13.1 on the day - If you have the time and you are in good shape running 12 is good - BUT - if you are injured it is better to rest and be able to start the race in good shape.
If you go out this weekend to run chose a route that you can easily cut short - check yourself and if you start to feel pain stop running -
Is it 2 more weekends of training and then the weekend of the race you have ?
I would TRY for 12 if you feel good this weekend - but if you don`t make it - DO NOT WORRY - you have done enough to be able to finish the race
next weekend I`d run 6 miles
then race weekend
