Hey everyone!
Well, I tried to run last night but the hip was acting up again. I listened to it, though, and only ran 400 meters. Then I walked for 2 miles instead. It seems to be ok if I have a rest day in between each run, so for now I'm going to force myself to do that.
It's actual pain during running, and stiffness afterwards, particularly in the mornings. It's hard to explain, but it kind of feels like my hip needs to be popped back into place. Strange, I know. I do think I favor my right side while running, so that could be part of it. It's also worse when I run on the TM - my gait must be different than when outside, but unfortunately, I don't have a lot of outside running opportunities at the moment.
I think I'll scale back the 6 M tomorrow to 4 so that I don't overdo it. I want to make sure I'm 100% before I get into my HM training program in February or March.
Cara, you can totally smash that time limit. Go for it!!! I think you'll rock that 10K.
Laurel, that's great that you ran without the knee wrapped. hopefully it's on the mend!!
Welcome, Misswendy!
Chuck and wbertha, I am also wanting to start doing upper body training. but I don't belong to a gym, any free weight suggestions?
I've said it before, but I'll say it again... Run, Joe, Run! Can't wait to hear about the race.
TGIF, and have a great weekend everyone!
