So every since Gasparilla I have had this aching hip pain. Prior to the race I would get it here and there after long runs but it was a dull pain and almost always went away after a day. (Easily ignorable) Well it’s been here to stay for well over a week now and I just don’t know what to do or think of it. I’ve consulted Crazy B’s running group experts, a few being certified running coaches, and the consensus seems to be that I may have any number of problems but everyone agreed that before I do anything I need to rest. REST – As in stay off of it; no running; for at least a week! Now mind you despite this sometimes walk-prohibiting pain, I’ve still been getting in at least a 2-3 mile run a couple times a week. Mind you I'm hobbling and limping the first half mile or so before it “loosens up” and lets me get a decent, if not restricted, stride, but I'm still getting out there. And guess what I have planned this weekend? The CNL 10k... because that is really going to help matters huh? But I’m stubborn and I can’t stop running!!! (Damn these birthing hips!)
I have a problem, I need an intervention, and I need to feel better by Saturday morning so I can PR on my 10k!!! (See I have a problem!) :)
Now on to more entertaining randomness: Celebrating the Half Marathon aka “Finally having a Social Life after months of training and self restriction” Weekend...
Friday night I hit downtown as promised, come hell or high water (or slightly cool temperatures) in my little black dress and heels. It was so much fun and I had a blast, drank myself silly and danced the night away. The black dress was a hit and helped me meet a handsome out of town stranger whom I had a wee bit of drunken indiscretion with. (Read: made out) I say I deserved it, after almost of year of singledom and a few scattered bad dates, one night of not-so-innocent fun was much needed! (Am I trying to convince you or myself?)
Saturday night I hit my old stomping grounds with the entourage and oh what a night! I danced, I sang, I acted a fool, I drank more beer than necessary (and lots of “secret water” to help curb total oblivion) and was overall the happiest little redhead around. My face seriously hurt Sunday from all the laughing/smiling I did Saturday night. Sometimes it amazes me just how much you need a good night out with all of your closest friends... we let life, love, economy, kids, work, etc. get in the way of just taking time out to maintain friendships and a social life. Well Saturday night rendered it for everyone and the endless smiles in all the pics more than show it. As Running Roomie would say: “It’s all about balance young grasshopper!”
Well that’s it for me today; crazy drunken adventures, a bad hip and a 10k I shouldn’t be running...
