Last weekend we ran 8 miles at Stanford Loop, which is two trips around the campus west-end. I walked the first loop and jogged slowly through the second. Later that day, my hip was quite sore again.
Overall, each consecutive day feels better. Each week, hurts less, is more generalized and the pain passes quicker. So, I believe I am healing slowly. Tomorrow with be the moment of truth where I verify with an orthopedist exactly the cause and best course of action for the upcoming month and half prior to the race. I may have to walk the entire thing.
Anyway, I will do it. Please wish me luck in this recovery...
Harold, this years official CCFA Honoree for Northern California sent me the sweetest message of encouragement to continue on that closed with a lovely quote from a Persian Poet, "In the hour of adversity, be not without hope, for crystal rain falls from black clouds." I know, with help, I will overcome this painful hip.
There is nothing wrong with walking a half marathon! That's still an amazing feat and I am glad you are listening to your body!! Here is to a quick recovery!
