    @MNLittleFinn I think your previously mentioned trail excursion will put you ahead of me. I'm doubling down tomorrow, resting Friday, and doing a total of 24-26 this weekend. You can kick my butt easily!

    So, this afternoon I got up from my desk at work and developed a sharp pain in the outside of my hip. It has not gone away. From my run this morning? It didn't hurt at the time..... damn it! Any advise from running hip injury people? Will I live?

    I'm just being kind of silly. I remember when I would see your mileage and always be in awe.... Can't believe I've gotten to the point where I'll be running similar mileage to you and the other big dogs.

    Oh no @amymoreorless! I am no expert but does it feel like a muscle issue or more in the bone/joint? If it is muscle maybe try some gentle stretching or foam rolling and see if that helps?
    @_nikkiwolf_ - that boar looks mean! I know they have something similar in Arizona called a javelina that can be pretty bold and scary (the babies are adorable though).
    @seanevan10 - :lol:

    @MNLittleFinn Yeah I stepped away for a few months and suddenly you're hitting 200+ mileage goals! You've certainly come a long way this year! I'm super impressed. (And flattered that I'm a "big dog" :) )

    I'm overly ambitious is all. I need to get through October, then my mileage is going to go WAY down for a couple months.

    Hang on, what's the difference between chest and bust? There was only chest there yesterday.

    In my case, pretty much nothing ;)

    I'm with you sista!

    Me, too. :'(

    For the Ultra Runners in the group some words of wisdom from one of my friends on the pros and cons of having Pacers and Crew. https://thwisp.wordpress.com/2017/08/09/choosing-a-pacer-and-crew-also-known-as-your-100-mile-caregivers/

    @hanlonsk - love your PT story and am hoping the fashionable 'boot' wrap is only temporary and that the MRI shows nothing important! Hang in there and you can definitely hang out with us for as long as it takes! Just ask @Elise4270 - she hung out with us all through her hip surgery and recovery and we still let her participate now :)
