Well, my hip paid for that 4 miler I did last week. SO. Plan B. I rejoined the gym & have turned to spinning. Running is going to have to take a back seat for now.
I am giving in to my injury at this point - not forever - just for now. Spinning helped me lose alot of weight last year while I was rehabbing my knee - I know it's a great workout.
I know if I try to jump back into running at this point I will be frustrated & hurting, & I'll quit. I will run again, but I need to get back into low impact cardio, strength training & do some PT on that hip before I dig back into training.
Saw some of my old gym friends who were happy to see me back :)
Trying now to get the exercise habit back. Got my buns up Friday for 6am class, Saturday 8:30 & today again at 6am. I'm sleepy. lol
It feels good to be back to doing something good for myself! Funny how we forget to do that. :)
What happened to your hip? Hope it improves quickly!
ReplyDeleteYou are being very smart..too often we try to ignore a pain rather than stop and try to get stronger and let our bodies heal. Your running will thank you for listening to your body.
