\"\"<\/a>This was an odd week for running. \u00a0The first half of the week was really windy and while I know that some folks don’t mind running in that, I’m not one of them. \u00a0I hate running in wind. \u00a0It makes my nose run and my ears hurt, and it’s just not fun.<\/p>\n

That was two days without running.<\/p>\n

One of those days I did do a workout DVD, a quick Jillian workout and whew I was sore the next day. \u00a0I am out of shape!<\/p>\n

The following day it rained all day long. \u00a0It wasn’t until Thursday that I got in my first run of the week.<\/p>\n

Yikes!<\/p>\n

I did a 2.5 mile run, my longest yet during this whole hip injury thingie. \u00a0The run went well. \u00a0I have no idea what my pace was because my HR<\/abbr> monitor seemed to be out of whack.<\/p>\n

That I ran 2.5 miles in 35 minutes. That I did that run with a 13:30 pace. \u00a0Um. \u00a0I know I was a little bit faster than that!<\/p>\n

My hip was amazingly sore that day. \u00a0It hurt to walk and go up and down stairs. \u00a0It hasn’t bothered me that much in a very long time. \u00a0It felt different than the pain before. \u00a0This felt like it was in my bones as opposed to just being a sore muscle. \u00a0It felt structural as opposed to muscle soreness. So strange!<\/p>\n

It lessened by the end of the day and by bedtime it was completely gone.<\/p>\n

It didn’t make any sense. I only up my mileage by .5 miles, so why in the world would my hip bug me that much? \u00a0UGH!<\/p>\n

I probably shouldn’t have but I ran the next day as well. \u00a0My hip was tight during the run but not sore and it was only slightly tight after the run. \u00a0It wasn’t sore.<\/p>\n

Break on Saturday and then a run on Sunday.<\/p>\n

I’m was in the middle of doing my 2.5 loop this morning when I almost stopped dead in my tracks because I realized what happened on Thursday.<\/p>\n

I didn’t run 2.5 miles that day. \u00a0I ran 3.5!<\/strong> \u00a0I wasn’t thinking and just did an extra loop because I was zoned out and running along.<\/p>\n

Holy crap no wonder my hip hurt me so much on Thursday! And no wonder it took me 35 minutes!<\/p>\n

Well now that brings up some interesting things.<\/p>\n

I’m not quite ready for that kind of mileage just yet, which was made apparent by how much my hip hurt. \u00a0I’m still running so that’s a positive thing. \u00a0However it’s clear now that this is going to take me some serious time to get past.<\/p>\n

I don’t know what happened to my hip but it is a more intense of an injury than I originally thought. \u00a0It’s going to be a slow recovery process but as long as I can<\/em> run, then I’m okay with that.<\/p>\n
