After my friend (who also teaches yoga) asked me to stand on one leg, dip, then the other leg, she told me that I need to strengthen my glutes. In other words I have weak bottom muscles, well really! She also said that's why I pulled my thigh/quad in the first place and not to go back till it feels pain free.My left leg is weaker than my right and gave me strengthening exercises to do. Well that's a bummer then, tee hee!
There's definitely more to this running business than I thought, hmm oh well onwards and upwards!!

Ha, ha, no she watched me when I was standing on one leg and saw my hip was pulling up higher than it should do and my leg was rolling slightly inwards. Clever people these yogis! That explains why my hip was hurting the last few runs. So I have to 'take it to the bridge' and do 30 reps.
There was a comment once in Acorn Antiques about someone whose buttocks sagged to her knees, and I've always thought that was probably me! I hope the exercises work for you. Good advice though to refrain from running until you're pain-free - sigh.
I visit my chiropractor every few months to get realigned (aka pummeled, stretched, tweaked and generally tortured) and I really notice the difference afterwards. Not that it's sore running normally, it's just that it's noticably easier after I've seen her. She gives me exercises to do and of course I go home and lose the sheet and don't do them. Perhaps I should make more of an effort...
