After not running since last Wednesday due to my bad hip, I thought I'd try a nice easy three miles today just down to Rivvy Barn and back.
It wasn't too bad really. There were a couple of slight niggles but nothing major.
The problem is, my pain doesn't actually happen much whilst running which makes it difficult to know whether I'm overdoing it or not. It's later on once I get home that it starts to hurt. I get a dull ache in the 'iliac crest' (the sticky out hip bone). It wasn't too bad today though. Not gone completely, but not as sore as it has been.
Once I got home I did my glute strengthening and stretching exercises again and iced my hip as recommended by Maria, my physio. I've been doing that since Wednesday now, as often as possible (at weekend I had set my stop watch to beep at me every two hours so I knew when to ice!)
It really does seem to be working and it's feeling much better (thanks in a huge way to Maria) so hopefully I'll be able to get rid of it completely soon and have a lovely toned bottom as an added extra!
Total distance - 3 miles.
