doctors orders smocktors orders....... well ok....maybe im not always right.... not llike that has never been known to happen.... so amidst all the medical crap of the last week... ordered to take a week off to rest my hips because they hurt so bad that walking in the morning was a chore....surgery has made it so that taking anti inflammatories is impossible... so i suffer.... because i am doing what i want to do.... as they say no pain no gain????? well this is coming with pain.. and alot of it.....
so after taking a week and half off... walking tonight was a pain in the ass.... or hips... twice over.... made it one lap.. but i increased it so i got more in with the lap....
what really sucks is that the heart and soul just wants to go.... but the body says..time out..... this may be the one and only 5 k i get to do... i dont know anymore at this point... i may have to switch to cycling to get away from the pounding of walking and running...... here im thinking the doc is just being overly cautious say 'you can never run again'..... but then again... maybe he was right.... who knows... but i WILL run/walk this one in 18 days..... may be more walking than running..... sad sigh... but will know that i did what i set out to do... and have started a new chapter of my life.. embracing healthy.. embracing excercise... too bad i did not embrace it when i first had the surgery.. i might be back down to high school weight... lol.. but then again... who wants to be that skinny???? oh wait... me.. lol
However there is nothing saying i cant walk every 5 k right????? wonder how much time they alot for a half marathon and marathon to be counted.... like i could walk that too right?? do they have road races for bikes?? that would be fun too.... anyway.... 18 days and counting... whether you come out to watch, to run or can just cheer me on in spirit.... I would be forever grateful!!

bummer you're having so many issues! have you tried the hip strengthening exercises? even if you can't run this one, there will be plenty more 5k's to conquer! you could always do a sprint tri! bike, swim and walk the 5k! :) that's my next goal!
ReplyDeletelmao... Jen I would have to LEARN to swim first!!! lol... and i have early onset of degenerative osteoarthritis... sooo the stretching while its great... cant fix or help the pain in the joint... lol.. and yes more.. but this one will be first!! :)
