Okay.....sooooo....I went to the gym to get a run in tonight. I was a little over 2 miles in and everything felt more awesome than it had in a long time. I was fluid and moving at a decent clip (for me). I was just about ready to bump the speed up. And then I got this little annoying pain in my left hip...something was tightening up. I put some pressure on it with my fingers and it helped briefly...until it came back. Rather than listening and slowing or walking, I stubbornly tried to keep going. And then that's when I heard a *POP* and I collapsed onto the handrails in pain. And now I'm going to be taking a couple of days of forced rest. :sad: Seriously bummed. My running has been going so well. Went home and after feeling fairly certain that I had not torn or seriously ripped anything and paced the hall trying to see if I could get it loosened up. It took a while, but there was some progress. I'm sure it'll tighten up overnight and hurt like mad tomorrow, but I'll survive I suppose. Just shoot me.

SOOOOOO....all of you should learn from my foolish, bullheadedness. LISTEN TO YOUR BODIES. Be careful not to ignore pain and try pushing through it. :noway:

Time to hit the pillow. Gnight all. Hope your days were good.

Surpassed my goal!!
If I had known at the beginning of the month I'd get to start going to the gym I would've set my goal WAYYYY higher
12/17 - 3.11 miles on treadmill, 14.3 miles on stationary bike
12/18 - 4.067 miles on treadmill, 14.44 miles on stationary bike
Total - 58.547/ 45 miles

Up tp 50 miles this month so far..unimpressed and unmotivated at the moment..Hope it passes quickly..

12/18= 4.70 miles
