What is it about signing up for a big race that makes me get injured? I only signed up for it because I was feeling sooo good, then I went for that long road run the other day (not even that long), and I've been suffering ever since. I hate road running! So yesterday I was supposed to run but I was really busy then I took the puppy out for a walk and realized that I could still run if I wanted to, I just didn't want to. I've been feeling really really ridiculously tired, like there's not enough coffee in the world. And my hip has been aching.
I thought maybe I just needed another day off but since Jim has to work all weekend, I won't be able to run again until Monday. Turns out that's probably ok because I think my hip might be messed up again. I am thankful that I had the sense to listen to my body this time and rest yesterday, instead of running. But I can still hear it today and it is saying there is something wrong.
This race (Blue Mt. 30k) was to be my last hoorah before I took two months off from running. I had decided that I would take off November and December from any kind of training, just run whenever I really felt like it. I am looking forward to doing some other kind of exercise and giving my running muscles a break. This hip thing has been a problem for me all year, and I wonder if it will be my running downfall. I will rest for the weekend and see how I feel on Monday.
