I just need to vent to people who understand.

My hip gave me trouble maybe 5 years ago - no fracture; I had X-rays. I had amazing PT and laid off running, and I've been fine since...until I started training for this half mary. The pain wakes me up, and walking for the couple days following a long run is painful. My race is 4/28. I'm afraid to rest and set myself back, but I'm afraid to keep running and really injure myself. I'm going to the doctor on Monday. Thinking I'll skip this weekend's 9 miler until I see the doc. Woe is me.

  • Wait.  I wish I had listened to my hip.  Instead I got all stupid about it and ended up not running for almost 6 weeks.  NOT FUN. 

    I hope you feel better soon!

  • I'm running my first half on April 1, but now my knee is giving me problems :( I was looking to maybe postpone to the 4/28 half in Chicago.

    Good luck! Let's hope we can not injure ourselves further!

  • If the pain is waking you up at night definitely see the doctor first. I'm sorry. I know how frustrating it is.

  • Definitely skip this run until you see what the doc says.  You don't want to set yourself back for an extended period of time.  I know it sucks :(
