That was LAME! Had a really great and fun run on Friday. But after the run, and for the rest of the day my right hip became more and more stiff...DANGIT! I caught the hip bug somehow that's been going around. BE CAREFUL OUT THERE, IT'S SPREADING! Saturday I was still sore and could feel the inflamed tendon going over my hip socket. Not cool. Looks like this week is going to be a biking week! I'm definitely not going to run anywhere until the inflamation is gone. I'm going to see my massage therapist this week, Sherry, if you're reading, can we move the appointment up to monday? So what did I do wrong? I think its pretty clear that I just ran too much too soon. I didn't realize I was doing that, but it hindsight I probably should have waited another few days to do that long of a trail run. I went from running 0 miles 2 weeks ago, to 46 miles in a one week period. Which is way more than I have ever run in a one week period, and I ran a lot of those miles at a fast pace, and then finished myself off with over 2000 feet of climbing on a 2 hour run. The reason I didn't realize how much I had run, is because I had only run 14 miles this calendar week. But the previous saturday I ran 21 miles. So in a 7 day period I had run 46 miles, which was obviously too much for me at that point. I felt fine going into that last run, so I'm not sure what to do differently for the future. Other than just watching my weekly mileage and bumping it up more consistently, I'm not sure...any ideas for me? |
