Yikes! Over one week now without any running. Basically, what happened is when I got to work, a week ago Friday, my left hip was hurting me. It hadn't hurt during the run but was hurting later. At first I thought, no problem, I'll just take off a couple of days and then be better. Saturday morning - still hurting, getting ready for trip, problems just walking around, spent rest of the day in the car. Sunday - more driving, stayed off my feet, getting a little bit better. Monday - still hurting Tuesday - went to Austin, getting better to walk on. Wednesday - came home from Austin, stopped at Innerspace caverns, finally started feeling normal. Thursday - back in Dallas, feeling a lot better unless I tried to walk quickly. Friday - feeling better, went to the Ft Worth zoo, a little bit sore from walking towards the end of the zoo visit. Saturday - back in the car to head home. Sunday - back home at 2:00 pm, took the dogs for a walk with the family, feeling ok but still couldn't walk fast. Hot tub later, felt better. Monday (today) - felt a lot better this morning, I don't think I'm 100% yet though. This whole thing kind of snuck up on me, it didn't feel any worse when I ran on it, the last time I ran. This usually means that it is ok to run. So often, I have run, where it didn't feel so great starting out but once you get going, or after the run, whatever it is has cleared up. Well, hopefully I can get over this. I'll tread lightly and come back slowly for now. I should be able to walk fast without any problems before trying to run. I might also have to spend more time in the pool.
