Yesterday was an AMAZING day! First of all it was a no running day, Saturday I did a long run and therefore rested on Sunday. But, technically no rest was really given and today I am feeling it big time. I spent the entire day walking, uphill, downhill, under bridges, over bridges, through Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque, and all over the Spice Bazaar. If you want to read more about my adventures at these places (and see the pictures) you will have to read my other blog Ashley Renee Perry
Well all this walking was probably great for me since I ate like 3 simits (Turkish form of a bagel) but it did a toll on my hip. Literally the joint of my hip is sore, like its been rubbed raw or something. I tried taking a break and stretching a bit but it still hurts this morning. Which means no running today for me... bummer. Regardless I still think that I will be able to run tomorrow I don't think its took serious just a bit sore. My fingers are crossed! Anyone know of some good hip stretches? besides the obvious hip flexor one?
Finally!

Bummer about your hip. Rest, ice and ibuprofen, for sure! You'll be back at it soon! :)
ReplyDeleteEeks about your hip! Good to take a day and rest/ice it. Google hip flexor stretches, there's some great ones out there...which are kinda hard to explain. I like to Youtube them, too, since I'm a visual girl and need all he help I can get! Hope you're feeling better soon...and thanks bunches for stopping by my blog and wishing me well this weekend. :)

WOW! People actually do read my blog! Thanks so much for the advice guys, it really feels great to get comments but I am sure you all know what I mean! Update about the hip... it feels much better, the hip flexor must have been the problem because one day of stretching it tons and it already feels fine! It was a scary injury though just wait for my next blog and you will know why!
