Well so much for my hip being in place! It started off great, running felt good, and all the sudden sharp pains started shooting through my hip and leg! I was not excited. lucky for me I was close to the end of my workout and was able to take it easy for the remainder. Now I am icing it hoping that it will help.
While I was still on the treadmill I did a little experiment (probably shouldn't have but I did anyways) I thought to myself I wonder if it would hurt as much if I ran faster? and gosh darn it, it actually hurt less. So I wonder if there is something that I'm doing when running slower than when I am running faster. Maybe when I take longer strides I don't have as hard of an impact when run?
Maybe this would be a question I could ask a pro. So If there are any running pros out there that are taking a look at my blog PLEASE feel free to leave a comment! - Anyways, enough about my hip.
One thing that I am really excited is the progress I am making. Not only my running progress, but my weight loss progress. When I started this whole marathon quest I weighed about 268 lbs. Since the 4th I have lost a total of 3.5 lbs! as of this morning before running I am at 264.5 lbs! It may not seem like a lot, but you have to think I've only been at it for 9 days. (averaging about .38 lbs a day) hopefully this keeps up, and by the time I am able to run a 5k I will have lost about 24 lbs! I am keeping my fingers crossed!
