I have taken some time off to try and get my hip some healing and because I have been a bit lazy, but mostly because my hip has been bugging me on every run. I thought I would run to the church to play some basketball. It is 1 mile away and would give me an idea of how my hip would feel. I got over there in just over 7 min. Felt good to be running again but I noticed the hip pain starting just as I go to the church. After the game I had some time and decided to run around the hood and see how it felt. The pain started to creep back fairly soon and it was much worse on the uphill than the down/flat. After 5 miles I stopped and stretched and swung my legs out which seemed to help so I threw in another mile. I am frustrated by the fact that after so much time off, it still hurt pretty quickly. However, I am going to try to stay committed to stretching daily and see if that helps it. |
