This week not much went down. I spent a lot of time on the spin bike trying to accumulate miles for the Ironman Challenge my healthclub is having, and because I have been giving my hip a rest from running. I ended the week with about 75 miles on a spin bike, still haven't been on my bike since my last triathlon. Thursday after riding for a hour I felt so good that I thought it would be a good idea to run a 5k on the treadmill. Well, a mile into my run my hip began to hurt so I cut the run to 2 miles.
After going out with friends Friday, I woke up Saturday morning motivated to do some cleaning at my place and skipped out on the long run. After not running for two weeks (besides that 2 miles) I figured it would be a good idea to not make a come back on a long run. Saturday night was an "adult beverage" mess, aka a good, drunken, drama-free time, that left me super motivated Sunday to go out and run. So for the first time ever, I walked out of my front door and went on a run. I have always had to drive somewhere to run with other people because I never really liked running it was just a necessary evil. Now I can say that I actually enjoy the challenge. Ran 3.5 miles around Grant Park but the pain is STILL there. I'm now convinced rest hasn't helped at all. So now I'm on plan C, going to the doctor to try to convince him to find out what's wrong with it (not just him saying "you should stop running" because thats not really a option). I'm so anxious to get better and to pick out a marathon really don't want my first 26 mile run to be at Ironman Wisconsin.
Only 10 months to Ironman Wisconsin, and i'm stuck running 3 miles at a time.
