Hips Okay, Hurray!!
So I gave in and went to the doc. He checked me out. Everything is okay, no major problems, my hips are a little tight/stiff and my adductors are weak. So he gave me some strength exercises to do and also some stretches. He told me to take 2 advil with every meal for the next 10 days as well. When I asked if I should lay of running he said I could keep running just keep my mileage low for a bit. So of course even though I said I wasn’t going to, I ran 3 miles yesterday. I don’t know if the stretches are helping or if it is just the higher amounts of ibuprofen but it felt good. I did 2 before spin and 1 after. I am relieved that it is nothing major. Looks like I just need to stop neglecting my stretching and strength training. I guess we will see after 10 days have passed and I stop taking the ibuprofen. Either way I am relieved it is not a stress fracture and I can start my marathon training in July.
