AM - 10.1 miles with Sasha. The New Year came in with a blast of cold this morning as it was a nice and cozy 8'F. I was not very excited about my run as my hip was killing me all day yesterday along with the calf. So I told Sasha I would attempt to run 10 at an easy pace. The hip feels almost like it is dislocated. I discovered that the calf and hip felt better with a shorter stride so I ran with a much shorter stride and things felt a little better. The hip still felt out of whack but bearable at least. Overall we went faster today but it felt slower and easier than yesterday. Average pace was 7:01. Good news is I only felt the knee twice during the run which is much better than last week. So I think I will stick with 10 miles a day for now and try and see if I can set up an appointment to have my hip looked at. |
