Got up today to run. Hip hurt. Ugh. What the heck?? I didn't let it stop me. I did my stretches and added in some new ones. Nothing more that I can do but stretch and hope for the best.
I went out to the same area I ran last Sunday for 4 miles. As soon as I started running I had pain. Pain in the outside of my left calf/ankle. WTF??? I had one tiny little twinge in my hip, but it lasted seconds and then nothing. Instead, ankle/calf pain for 25 minutes.
I lasted 25 minutes (Garmin was dead [though I didn't know that until I got there. Ugh] so I used my Nano run app for time). Yes, 25 minutes out of 60. So disappointing. But, I decided to call it a day because I have never had pain in that area and it didn't go away. I'm still in the early going for The Love Run training and I don't want to make something worse.
Came home and iced the area. I'm hoping it helps and that I can try again tomorrow.

I've only had serious pain once (in my knee), so I stopped. Thankfully, it was from tight muscles, and affer some serious stretching for a few days, I was good to go. I think you're better off to stop than risking long-term injury. Hope you feel better soon!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jina! I appreciate your comment. Makes me feel not so bad for having stopped less than halfway through my run.
