Tempo Tuesday.
I knew after yesterdays bad hip that today was going to be hard... I didn't think it would end up being this bad. Just felt like TRASH the entire morning. From warm up to cool down it was bad. Not only did the hip hurt but my heart rate was super high. Just regular effort took twice the amount of output. I guess they can't all be good... hoping this is just the ups and downs of training and not a glimps of things to come.
8 mile tempo kind of went like this. Hit 5 miles at a 5:34 avg then I just had to stop. Hip was killing me. Walked it out a little then started running again. Hit the next mile at 6:16, then 5:45 and the hip kind of loosened up so on the 8th mile I was able to hit a 5:25. But it felt like a 5:05 effort. Ugh. Guess I got through it... even though it was a bummer. Just mentally stressed out too. Need this hip to pop back and it just will not release. Maybe a visit to April is in order.
2.8 miles tonight on the treadmill. Had planned on staying on to hit 5.1 and square off my day at 20. But the hip hurt. And at 2.4 I felt a really sharp pain that about put me on the floor. I slowed down for .4 more but just decided to get off and see what happens tomorrow. Hammy is crazy tight too. I think they are related issues.
