Welcome to March! A new month always feels like a fresh start.
I had a run day today. The weather is pretty nice and I was a bit excited. Today was the run day I would get my goal time and distance for the month of February as part of my big goal for the end of May. Unfortunately about 10 minutes in my hip started having pain again (like on Wednesday) and after 22 minutes it was unbearable and I had to stop. I tried some stretching and walking and it felt slightly better, and stubborn me I continued to run for a bit more. Ultimately I had to stop and walk the rest of the way home.
I have a very good idea what the reason is and it is something new I will have to navigate. To say I am devastated sounds a bit dramatic but I am really upset. I knew I could get my goal and was so excited to check it off and how I would feel after. Now I will be limited to stretching and no-impact for a week or two. As of now I can barely walk it is so tight in my hip.
Now I must be patient and listen to my body.
Have a happy day and remember it is self-care Sunday. I will spend sometime thinking of one of my happy places in this photo. It is called Silver Islet in Canada. It is where my grandfathers family first came when they arrived in Canada. I have many happy memories there and I hope it makes me feel a bit better today.
