Well, I'm back on track—I did the nine mile run on Sunday. My hip was pretty sore by the time I was done, but I put ice on it when I got home and, while it hasn't stopped hurting entirely, it's at least no worse than it was. So I'm crossing my fingers, doing the stretches my coach showed me, and planning to do the twenty mile run this weekend. I will probably drop back and run with the next slower group, just to make sure I don't push myself.
My hip may have been hurting, but I looked good! I finally went to the Sports Basement and bought myself a couple of cool running outfits to wear. That's 'cool' as in CoolMax, a special material designed to keep you dry and cool while you exercise. I also bought a runner's watch, for timing my walk/run intervals and splits, and stocked up on goo for the long runs. So I'm ready to go! Hawaii, here I come!
