So I started slowly running again on Wednesday. I will tell you that that even being away from running for even 10 days really hurt my time but I knew I really needed to not go balls to the wall. Which i have never really understood this saying. Other sayings i don't understand is are you shitting me. lol. Sorry got off track. So I started with some easy 3 milers. I can tell you I was very nervous about running. I was scared my hip wasn't going to feel good and that I would be side lined again but it felt really good and really good to sweat and after a mile or 2 I was feeling good. Didn't have any discomfort, pain which made me happy. I have never babied my body so much as I have since this injury. Today I ventured off for a 5 miler and I could tell by 2 and half miles I had started off way to fast because by 3.33 miles I needed to walk a bit. I had to do this twice. I just couldn't slow down. After I got done I did my stretches, rolled my ass and hip and iced it for a bit. About mid day I did have a achy feeling but 2 aleve fixed that right up. And off to nap I went.
But it was mentioned to me by a fellow marathoner that I really need to sow down. I really need to practice this to get through my long distance runs and also I need to not injure myself again. That is going to take some practice. I see the pt on Tuesday, which I am really excited about to be honest. I can't wait to see what he's going to teach me and advice on this hip. So that's all I have right now. My plan is to really start training next Tuesday. I am nervous but I know that I am just as excited.
So until next time...
