On my way to the doctor’s office.
I have been running about 25 miles a week since January with pretty minimal injury issues…until now. About two weeks ago I developed a pain around the area where my right leg connects to my hip [groin?]. It mostly hurts when I put weight on it to walk. I have found that I usually can run on it and it only hurts for the first mile or two. [Is that a good idea?]
Anyway, I have tried to decrease mileage, run slower, ice it afterwards, stretch it more, take ibuprofen, wrap it, etc. to no avail. It does seem to be a little less tender, but still is inhibiting me.
I’ve been operating under the assumption that it is something minor…hopefully the doc can confirm that. We’ll see. I tried to do a little bit of reading on the Runner’s World website, and it only got me more concerned.
We’ll see…
