I ended up taking yesterday off because of a sore hip. I didn't feel any pain after Saturday's run, but when I got up Sunday morning my right hip was so sore I could barely lift my leg. The soreness and pain persisted throughout the day and forced me to sleep on my back Sunday night. On Monday morning it felt better (at least I could walk without pain), but I thought I'd wait to see how it felt walking around and sitting before trying to go for a run. When I got home from work I decided that it'd be better to rest it than try to push it. I couldn't sleep on my side during the night, but I decided to go for a run this morning. It didn't hurt at any point during the run, but I had to shorten my stride a bit as I had trouble lifting my leg as high as normal. All in all, I don't think it's going to be much of an issue. It seems to be more like the stiff neck you get from sleeping at a weird angle. I need to make sure that I'm ready for an 18 miler on Saturday.
