I have changed the usual LITS formula in this creative variation. Will you have LOTS of trouble finding the solution? (Don't forget that 2x2 squares are allowed!)

Rules: Shade one tetromino of cells in each region so that all shaded cells form one orthogonally connected area. Two tetrominoes of the same shape may not touch orthogonally, counting rotations and reflections as the same. There may not exist a run of more than three consecutive shaded cells horizontally or vertically anywhere in the grid.

Note: The example is a little trickier than usual!
