All I want is to run without pain. Last week I decided (well my body decided) I needed to take a week off from running and concentrated on strength training, extra stretching, and swimming laps to help rid the pain in my hip. The pain subsided so yesterday I hit the pavement. 1 mile in I could barely feel the pain. By mile 3 it was full blown HURTING; I finished the run. This morning - No Bueno. I tried foam rolling it out this morning which did not remedy the pain.
It is in my left hip and goes down the top front/back section of my thigh. Hurts mostly when I try lifting up my leg or inclines/declines.
Running is my 'thing'... I feel lost without it. How can I go from running high mileage weeks to nothing. Major self doubt lately : ( I just want to be STRONG
"Running is a big question mark that's there each and every day. It asks you,
'Are you going to be a wimp or are you going to be strong today?'"
