Yesterday I awoke with intense hip pain. Immediately my mind went to fearing the worst that this was going to set me back over the next weeks. I managed to finish up with clients being even more mindful of my body mechanics while giving massage. My chiropractor was able to fit me in for an adjustment and a therapy treatment in the afternoon. Using my better judgement, I left her office and headed home for some bed rest. I was able to catch up on some reading and phone calls so this was time well spent.
Today I am feeling better though there is mild discomfort. This week is the beginning of a structured 12 week 5K training program that continues until the week before my race (90 days away). I am bargaining with myself to continue to train and yet listen to my body so as not to cause further pain or injury. This is what I would be recommending to my clients so I feel it is most sensible to follow my own advice.
