Pain: EXCRUCIATING HIP PAIN
Notes: After my successful bonus run last saturday I cam out of the gate thinking I could really rack up the speed on this run. That was a mistake! I got a little caught up in a competition in my head with the girl on the treadmill in front of me, she was running faster than I was, so I used her as motivation to push myself. Unfortunately this was a bad bad decision. My hip, which I had problems with during crew because I have a week hip flexor, began hurting me about half way into my run, but instead of slowing down I sped up thinking I could push through it and it would go away. Boy was I wrong. I got home and iced my hip forever, then hit it with the heat pad. I'll have to be sure to go easier next time.. or to just not. so bad. ugh.
