<human>: Give me the gist of the text in a nutshell

I gave running my first serious try almost 2 years ago and actually loved it. The only reason I stopped was because I twisted my ankle (unrelated) and laziness ensued and I kinda just stopped. Fast forward about a year and I tried running again but started getting shooting pains in my left knee after about a mile, pretty consistently. I chalked this up to poor shoe choice (nike free) and the fact that I've had knee issues before (other knee, torn lateral meniscus, which is fully healed and has never given me issues when running). The winter got shitty in Boston, but I really wanted to start running *right* this spring. After all, I did love it when I was able to do it consistently, and I felt better then ever. I got fitted for shoes at a local running store and felt pretty confident but of course, around the first mile mark my knee started to give me the same issues. I did some snooping around google and found this is actually *really* common, and is most likely ITB issues. I've been doing the ITB rehab routine from Strength Running but was wondering...does anyone have any success stories dealing with ITB pain? I've been doing the ITB rehab routine for about 1.5 weeks, almost every day and I tried my first run since starting the other day, but once again only got about a little over a mile in before I called the run. 

Thanks!
