I think I forgot to mention... Remember how happy I was a week or two ago to be back running?
Well, my hip was bugging me a lot after even the shortest and easiest of runs. I've decided to back off again and cross train hard while it heals completely. If I can't run 3 miles without pain and worry of injuring myself further, I would rather be sweating it out on the elliptical and swimming for an eternity so that I can come back strong and at a better capability to go for "real" runs.
I had a goal to run a sub-21 5k as a present to myself for my 21st birthday (October 20th). Now I am just hoping that I can run happily, worry and pain free by then.
It's a bummer having this injury drag on for so long, but I'm more optimistic about it now. As I tweeted this morning, "Another Saturday without a long run. But I will be back soon enough and I will savor every mile."
And I will.
