I decided to run against my chiropractor's orders. I woke up with horrible hip pain on Sunday that got progressively worse throughout the day to the point where I couldn't put any pressure on that leg. It had hurt very slightly on Friday. Then I ran my longest run in a while on Saturday, so maybe that's what did it. I was bummed because marathon training was supposed to officially start yesterday. So I had to wait and start today. I hope my hip forgives me. It has felt fine since my adjustment yesterday.
Today was 4 easy miles. It was unseasonably cool today: 75 degrees. Total time was 39:18, average pace 9:49.
My husband has been waking up early to train. I am going to join him, starting tomorrow. I wanted to give my hip the extra 12 hours to recover today.
I did one-leg hops and high knee drills after the run. |
