Well, that was a much needed, enjoyable run, someone up there even gave me some fine, cooling drizzle to help with it, i wouldnt say the hip/groin pain has completely gone, but once into the run, didnt feel it too much, and was quite surprised, after a 2 week break, how comfortable it felt, all be it pretty slow pace, 43 mins, but just felt so good to be out running again, after a pretty hard time, but i know the rest has done me good, only 3rd run in feb.
Hope everyone else's runs today, have been enjoyable, and all those on IC, thinking of you. βΊ

Well done chap π that's a decent and oh so sensible run π
Well done Peter, good run for you and much needed I am sure. Good to get some head clearing time for you and a bonus the hip/groin issue didn't cause you any problems. Hope you're doing ok x [waving from the IC ππ]
I really feel for you, must be very frustrating, my pain hasnt gone, but feels alot better, for a 2 week break, just going to take it easy for now, as i know i pushed things too far, back in jan, and right now, even short runs, will be a big help, anyway, hope it wont be too much longer for you. π€
Brilliant! So glad you got that one under your belt! πA nice restorative run was just what was needed. Slow and steady does it - don't undo all that good that rest has done you
Yay. Welcome back! Glad to see youβre out and about, giving it a little test run. Keeping it nice and gentle should help you keep mobile and not worsen any niggles. ππ»ππ»
Well, amazingly they were really ok the next day!- I thought I was going to be walking like the tin man!- had a few days rest since the 12k - off out again tommorow so we'll see how the legs hold up!
So glad to read this! Well done for your careful 5K. I can tell how good that made you feel to get out there running again.
Iβve been trying to get out there, honestly! Iβm now having problems with a painful hip/groin as well, and I havenβt even been walking, but I have been up and down stepladders sorting out stuff for my move, so maybe I pulled a muscle.
Oh no, that's not good Jools, sounds similar to my problem, and cant really remember how, or when it started, was looking back at my runs, i did a 10 miles, then 2 days later, quite a fast for me, 10k, i think it might have been around that time.I feel for you with all the packing, i look around the house here, and think what a big job it will be packing up, but we wont be rushing into it.
I bet you could really do with a run at the moment too. βΉ
Yes, I need to run! Itβs certainly a challenge on my own packing up the house. I seem to be going backwards sometimes, the house looks like a tip. Iβve had the hip problem before and itβs already easier this evening. I think mine started on the fast walk over uneven, frozen ground 2 weeks ago. Hopefully we are both on the mend!
I think we both need running at the moment, if i had to pack up this house on my own, dont even want to think about it, at least i'll have my brother to help, when the time comes.
You donβt even need to think of it right now, youβve got enough on your plate. Youβre right that we both need running though. When Iβm running, I believe in myself. One run and Iβll have this house packed up in the blink of an eye! π
Well done Peter, Iβm genuinely pleased for you, itβs great to hear youβve managed to get out there for a run. I havenβt been out for a few days, itβs great to be back at work but Iβm knackered when I get home and have taken to having an afternoon nap π΄ between 4 and 6 ! .....Hoping to have more energy soon and test out those new running shoes π π
Thanks Geoff, it did feel good to be back out there, and i was on my own too, which actualy was quite nice today, my daughter's moving out in a few weeks, so i'll lose my running partner, but started on my own, so will get used to it again.I'm back at work on mon, which will be a shock to the system, i quite often have an afternoon nap! π΄
Thank you Fiona, was good to read about your run with your friend, it is nice sometimes to chat, while running, like i've said, i'll be losing my running partner, my daughter, who's moving in with her boyfriend.
Well done on getting back out there Peter ππ» glad it felt pretty good especially after a decent break. I've got work in morning so il either get up extra early and go for a quick one then or il take another rest day and go Friday morning.
Thanks, was quite surprised how strong i felt, after a 2 week break, could easily have gone on further.At least the work's starting again for you, i'll have been of for another 3 months, since before xmas.
Yeah!!! π Welcome back, Peter. π So pleased for you. It seems an age since you were last running, but probably not that long in reality. Hope the niggles stay in their place. I notice that you posted yesterday - how is the body doing now?
Thanks Gail, it was only 2 weeks, but as you say, felt like ages, we need our fix, every few days really, will try not to over do things now, and dont feel too bad today.
Sadly yes π¬ I'm doing a short walk daily, some foam rollering and pilates π€ΈββοΈ physio appointment on Monday π€ a walk today sounds like a good plan for you. Hope all continues to improve for you- gently does it π€π
