Back to square 1. Last night my hip killed whenever I put weight on my left leg and ached when no weight was on it. This morning it felt a bit better but still hurt. When walking to the track I couldn't feel it, but when I stopped I could feel it again. It wasn't nearly as painful as last night, but I still thought I should play it safe. Haley said to do the warmups then if it hurt I had to stop. I did the warmups and it was bugging, but I still did the form mile cause I wanted to get at least some running in, stupid I know. Pain wasn't super intense but I could still feel it and I would occasionally get sharp pain in the front. Haley told me to get on the bike and just go easier than I did last time and see if that felt alright. I lessened the resistance and it didn't bug my hamstring too much so I did that for 30 minutes then did some exercises in the training room. Iced after that. Frustrated because I really just want to be back and running like normal.

These little injuries are the worst. See your time of cross training as important time to strengthen yourself mentally. Make the biking and swimming count and it will pay off even though you aren't running and feel like it's not the same. Injuries and cross training also give an opportunity to step back, set new goals and get at it again! Be patient- it will get better!
