My hip was feeling better today, so ibuprofen and/or rolling out helped. Patrick checked a few things he forgot to yesterday and he's pretty confident I strained my gluteus medius muscle. Since it's feeling better than it was yesterday he let me run 3 miles but said not to push it if the pain increases. Luckily Angie, Julieta, Sharlie and Emma were just starting at the same time I got out of the training room so I ran with them for 1.5 then turned at Canyon Park and came back along University Blvd. At 1.8 it started to lock up again and the pain increased but I just tried to keep my stride even and smooth. Eventually the pain eased and I was able to finish. Iced afterwards, Patrick reevaluated and said that I could run again tomorrow if it continues to feel better and possibly start some strengthening exercises. Also iced.
7:11 average.
