During my run on Friday, my left hip hurt a bit. I actually think I may have pulled something during yoga, because the muscle right where my butt and leg meet was sore before my run. I have stretched, used some
Ironman muscle cream, and used a heating pad. It is still a bit sore, so I am going to take another day off of running. I plan to run Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday of this week. And Saturday is scheduled as a solo 15 mile run, since Caitlin will be doing her Ragnar run this coming weekend and is running 15 miles total.
Yesterday, Chris and I went to Teavana where I purchased a delicious chai mixture like what Chris's sister, Jessica, had. I also purchased a delicious herbal tea which pairs well with the Moroccan mint Jess gave me. I tried the chai this morning, and it was delicious! We spent today cleaning. I have a bit more I want to do before bed, but I love the feeling of a nice clean home to start the new year.
My plan is to enjoy my last evening before heading back to work. I hope the new year has been good to you all!
I recommend the following stretch for your hip/butt pain:

Scroll down to the very bottom and do either one of the 2 piriformis stretches. It helped me a lot!
I hope you feel better soon! :)
Sorry to hear about the hip! :( I hope it feels better soon!!!

Hope your leg is feeling better. That doesn't sound like a fun place to be sore.
ReplyDeleteThis tea looks great. I've been drinking organic coat throat tea every 5 minutes because of this stupid cold. I need to try a new tea before I go crazy :)
