I traveled back from DC last night and waited to run until after work to see how my hip was feeling.  It felt good all day so I thought I would try it again and see how it felt.  I started off easy and felt good.  I picked it up and was running about 7:20 pace for 4 miles and then the hip started hurting again.  I hurt the rest of the way back. It wasn't as bad as before but enough that I shouldn't be running on it. I am signed up for a half marathon on Sat.  I was planning on running it like a workout but now I think it is best to take a few days off and get this healed up properly before I make it worse.  I am going to take the rest of the week off and then see how I feel on Monday.

Sorry about the hip issue. Hope it heals up quickly for you.

Jim, my hip hurt for a full month after Boston last year. Do you have any places to run with soft surfaces? I did a little trail running to help make the transition back to the roads. Hope it gets well soon.

Robert, thanks. It is feeling better but still going to give it a couple of more days rest.

Dave, thanks for the advice. I will try to find some softer surfaces to run on.
