Snow Storm!
Sorry, I have not posted in so long. My computer was not working right this weekend, so I just posted the entry I wrote on Thursday right now. There is not too much to catch you up on in the running front.
Friday: I was going to only run a little, since I had made my hip sore the day before doing 8 miles, so I did not run in the morning. I did have another appointment with the sports massage place that helped my hip last week. The woman said she could tell my hip had loosened up, since she was able to get a lot deeper (which hurt quite a bit) into my muscles than last time, although my right side is still way tighter than my left. When I got to practice it was about 45, rainy and windy. Just as we were starting pratice we got word that they had canceled my girls meet for Saturday due to the prediction of 6-10 inches of snow! So I make my poor girls who were planning on an easy day to 1000 meter repeats in the rain, which they did a great job of once they got refocused. I ended up just doing 3 miles of easy running with them for their warm up/cool down, and calling it good since my hip was still a bit sore from Thursday. I lifted weights with my husband, went out to dinner with him at this great Middle Eastern place and stretched while watching a movie.
Saturday: It snowed all day! I tried running, but the cold made my hip tighten up, so I turned around pretty quickly. This was a pretty lazy day. I did stretch some more, but that was it.
Today: We had youth program this morning and I had to scrape my car out of the snow to leave! When I got back, my husband I spent the first part of the afternoon painting the primer coats on our dining room. He is picking up the colored paint and ceiling/trim paint right now. So hopefully, we can at least get the base coats on everywhere today and than we can finish next weekend. Since the weather is just as cold and snowy and there is more snow on the ground today than yesterday, I am probably not going to try to run outside. My plan right now is to go to the YMCA this evening and lift and see how my hip feels on the elliptical.

ugh! it's tough when you feel healthy and really want to train hard, but are shut down by a nagging injury. hang in there, and don't push it!
