Back home today but was wiped out this morning from jet lag.  I felt very sluggish getting started but felt better once I got going.  I took it easy again as I am trying to build back up from the hip injury.  It felt good today some tightness but no pain.  I am going to run again tomorrow to see how it does with two days in a row but will continue to keep the mileage down.  The tightness that I feel seems like it is going to start hurting but so far it hasn't sometimes I wonder if it is just me being over concerned about it instead of just running and not thinking about it.

Sounds like you had an awesome trip. Sorry about the hip problems. Have you tried to go to a chiropractor? I have an inner muscle tightness and i have been taking a herbal muscle relaxer and that has helped a ton. Something to think about.

Thanks! I will have to give it a try. What herbal muscle relaxer are you taking? That is my problem. It is a tight muscle that connects to the hip and then causes pain on the nerve.

The stuff that i have been using is called Formula 303 and i love it. When i am training i usually slow down around mile eight, when taking this I do not slow down. Here is the website for it http://www.formula303.com/ Also, i talked to my doctor Friday and he also told me to get some different inserts for my shoes, the ones that support my arch and that has really helped me a lot. So maybe try getting some different supports for your shoes and see if that helps. I hope this helps, please let me know. And have an awesome day... =)
