Hobbling along
25Jun2009 Filed under: Life Author: KellyI survived the evening sans snacks 
For the last few days, I have been having mild on-again-off-again hip pain, only in my right hip. It was a little noticeable Sunday night, worsened Monday, okay Tuesday, and then last night by the time I finished the C25K, every time I put pressure on my right foot I got a pain in that hip. Lovely. Like a lot of things in life, I ignored it, lol.
Today, I am hobbling around, every step causes pain in my right hip. Wth? I guess it is from the running? I read another blog that mentioned hip pain doing her C25K and I was amazed … I really didn’t think it was from that, but I guess it is? Anyway, I am not a whiner, but this is pretty ouchy. And all I can think about is will I have to miss kickboxing tonight? See - when I am good, I am too obsessively good that it can be harmful. And when I am bad, I am really bad, lol. I will play it by ear and see how I feel.
Boss is offsite at a meeting today. :-) :-) :-) I have a LOT of paperwork today, but lately I have been helping the finance crew redesign some revenue workbooks, etc. and today I am just not doing it. Going to focus on MY stuff. I was supposed to chair a meeting today, but in order to have that meeting to teach participants how to use the new spreadsheet, someone else had to finalize the input workbook and it isn’t done. First I was really angry. Now I am realizing, listen, I can’t do and/or control EVERY thing. If it isn’t ready, there is nothing I can do. The meeting will have to be rescheduled, and if it goes past deadline, it wasn’t my fault so be it. (Easier said than done for a control freak like me!)
B: Egg beaters w/ tbsp real bacon pcs (those come in handy!) and 1/2 slice 2% cheese on TLMGEM, coffee
S: Fruit of some sort, lots to choose from
L: Making seafood salad
S: More fruit
D: BBQ chicken, unsure of sides yet
Exercise: Kickboxing??
Water: 3 bottles +
If I miss kickboxing today, there isn’t another class until next Tuesday, and if I go to that one, then I miss my yoga/pilates. See why staying on schedule is so important? lol Plus I really wanted rest days over the weekend, I have some things planned. Oh well. Loosen the grip, Kelly.
Paperwork beckons. I shall return.

Ouch! if the pain is interfering with walking….you probably need to rest it a bit. You might have pulled a muscle or something.
have a good day!!!

Kelly, it sounds like it might be your IT band that’s causing the hip pain. It’s a common injury for many runners (even experienced ones) and really all you can do is strengthen the hip muscles, ice it, advil, and the like. Here’s a good link on it: http://www.jeffgalloway.com/training/injuries.html
Hope you get to feeling better soon!

Eeegads I suck. My hips hurt from…running? Uh, no. Riding 12 hours in the truck to VA. Seriously!@#! How can my hips hurt from doing nothing? LOL Hope yours get better.
Remember the idiots are necessary to help us do our work. We just have to sometimes adjust our expectations of their efforts and wait for them to catch up. LOl

Glad the link helped! My friend (who runs marathons) told me that it only hurt in her hip when she had it, so sometimes you don’t have knee pain with it I guess. Anyway she went to a running store and told them about her hip pain and they gave her some weird roller thing (I think it’s like a paint roller haha) that she rolls up and down her outer leg every day and it took away the pain. Weird, huh?

LOL. You kill me. At the end of your entry, you’re still thinking about how not to miss the kickboxing class.
