It was a great morning today around 60 and no wind. I was dragging this morning getting up and going. I started out real easy and started feeling better once I was running. This is my 4th day in a row and haven't ran 4 days in a row since having the problem with the hip. Nothing much different today. I still have some aches and pains in the hip while running but it is nothing too bad. It would be nice if I felt like it was getting better but it just seems to stay the same. Luckily it is not getting worse. Will keep stretching and massaging it and see what happens. No time today my Garmin battery was dead and it was kind of nice just to run along based on how I felt.

have you been to a PT to see what they say about your hip?

Stay patient and take it really easy. I'd keep moving as long as there is no crescendo of pain. Have you tried all of the classic stretches? Hang in there.

KP, I haven't went to a PT but I think I have a pretty good idea of the problem based on some articles that I read. The stretching and massage seems to be doing the trick. It is never as fast as I would like though.

Robert, thanks for the encouragement. The stretching seems to be doing the trick. When I first started it it was very painful but now the stretching is getting easier and running seems to be getting better.
