Running Accomplishments:

I started running in 2008 while I was a stay-at-home-mom. I discovered this blog in July 2010 and followed the advice from the blog to gradually improve my distance/speed. I achieved various PR's in 2010/2011. I went back to work part-time in 2012-2015 and switched to mostly running trail runs. When I got prego with my third child in 2016, I stopped running and started work full-time. After a 7 year hiatus, I returned to running in 2022. I have alot of work to do to get back in shape, but looking forward to the challenge!

I took today off because my leg was hurting pretty bad yesterday after the run... second day in a row.

However, I do have good news: I think I finally diagnosed myself. I think I have iliopsoas Bursitis. It's a less common bursitis - most common to ballerias and hurdlers. I have so many hills in my neighborhood and I've been getting so much faster in the months leading up to my injury. I mean I went from running a half marathon in 1:57 in Aug 2010 (my prior PR was 1:54) to running a half marathon in 1:35 in March 2011 - a matter of 7 months!

The pain when it is at its most acute is in my groin area. Two months ago I originally thought maybe I had a fracture of the femoral neck just because of the location of the pain. However, I've noticed lately that the pain kinda moves at times and it concentrated in the front of my thigh in the quad region... and it can sometimes be felt in my butt. Like a shooting pain that ranges from the butt to the quad... weird. It didn't quite fit sciatica nerve problems because I don't have any issues in the hamstring area. It didn't fit anything I'd read about until now.

This iliopsoas Bursitis describes all my symptoms including the fact that it doesn't hurt while I'm running and only after.

The best part is that a steriod shot should help my problem!! I am going to see my doctor tomorrow and I think he'll agree to give me the shot. This is a relatively easy solve... much better than a bone or muscle or nerve issue. I'm so happy. But still... a steriod shot in my groin region???!! OMG! Toughen up, Lindsey... you did have two babies.

Ouch, that shot sounds painful. Hope it helps! You definitely improved a lot, I hate how the summer heat kind of puts everything on hold.

I wonder if the doctor will be willing to do it tomorrow or if he will make me make other appointments to get tests and such. I hope he will just do it and get it over with... I'm freaking out...
