Hip Pain

guest — Tue, 26 Jun 2012 21:32:10 GMT

I used to have hip pain too because of my tight calves,, try to massage your calves and see if it hurts, mine would hurt so bad. I finally got this roller thing and my dh rolls it on the back of my calves every few days and I can run pain free now,, the first 3 weeks the roller hurt so bad I almost cried, but I stuck with it and not it is barely noticable when he does it.. love that thing. we got it at an expo.

Hello, I have been lurking here reading posts.. I used to run all the time, did several 5ks, and five 1/2 marathons.. My dh runs too. I just got back into it this year, I am back up to 5-6 mile runs and finally getting back to a 10 minute mile on good days.. I want to do the Army 10 miler in October. I do not have a bib but my husbands work has a team and there are going to be a few bibs open and I will get one of them..

I am just wondering if anyone else will be running this?

Also what is the C25K I see posted?

One of the reasons I stopped running was because I was having terrible pain in my hip, my doctor told

me I had arthiritis, it got worse so I stopped. I was at the Marine Corps marathon expo as my dh was running it and a booth there was set up with this roller thingy,, he used it on my calves and I almost cried from the pain, he said if I used it till the pain went away I would be back to running, well I bought it and used it almost everynight,, and finally all the bumps in my calves went away and I am running again and so far no hip problems. I am hoping to get some more races in. Sorry to be so long winded but just thought I would let anyone know about that gadget.. (oh , I dont have arthritis, it was just very tight calves)
