20.4 mile run here from the house. Started with Logan and Steven Abraham Lincoln Hooper Pope Abercrombie & Fitch. Hit the first DC loop pretty smooth and easy. Got back to the house and Logan had to get to practice. It was about 6:15 a.m and I was planning a longer run. So I talked Steven into hitting another loop with me. So we went out the opposite direction as we'd gone with Logan. I felt pretty good through about mile 12. Then my hip got CRAZY painful. At the DC we stopped for a drink and I suffered to get going again. Labored back through B-hills but it started to loosen up around 18. We even picked it up pretty fast on a couple occasions... like 5:15 pace. Then we finally slowed down and just jogged the last .3 or so back to my house. And it was then that I really, really started to hurt. Hobbled back in the house and have been in pain all morning. It just aches. Maybe by the evening it will feel good enough to stretch out and roll. But this is as painful as I've ever felt it. Honestly I can't walk unassisted by walls, chairs, counters and the like. The saga continues. Outside of that everything else felt great. No hydration issues or bonking due to low calories. Low of 76 F and it felt warmer. |
