After 2 more days with Sunday off completely, I had high hopes for today's run. Everything has been feeling great while not running. I got a mile and a half into my run and the hip pain came back. I kept running a little ways but it quickly got a lot worse and I could tell there was no way I was going to get very far so I quit right then. I was really hoping for at least 5 or 6 miles. I had even taken 800 mg of ibuprofen 1/2 hour before the run for my knee. Maybe that's not enough time to kick in? So I walked back to the house and went for a 30 mile mt bike ride with a strong north wind blowing. The pain is right at the front of my left hip, right where the hip flexor is shown in the diagrams I have looked at. It is also near where the top of your quad muscles attach to the hip.
PM Hip felt so good I tried running again but only made it 1.3 miles.
