Downtime

I pulled a muscle on Sunday about half way through due to which I'm required to take some downtime.   There was a sharp pain deep in the right glute toward the inner side when I stopped to turn around during the run. Although I tried to continue to run for a mile or mile and half the pain wasn't going away as usual.  In fact, the general soreness was getting worse. Hence I walked and eventually got a drive home from a friend who was passing by.  I did physical therapy yesterday. It seems my right hip has been getting stiff - which makes sense as after the long run the last couple of times I had to literally drag my right leg. I am asked to do more stretching and hip flexing, and further exercises to strengthen the hips and legs. I didn't run yesterday. The sore muscles in the area haven't fully recovered yet but they are a lot better.

I'm hoping to hit the road next week, but before that I'll allow myself to recover fully.  I will also be doing the stretches and exercises targeted for the hips.

That's all folks.

If I can run, u can run
