No Run Saturday #2 - Boo Hoo - April 16, 2011

I tried running two miles this past week and my hip felt like it was going to crack open. Oh this is getting depressing. I can bike, stair master, eliptical, and walk but the minute I run I'm in pain. There are apparently more endorphines released when you run (at least for me) because I'm feeling the blues from not being able to get out there and go. It's also stressing me out that the weeks are ticking by and I'm losing precious marathon training time. I'm trying to be patient (despite what it may seem) but I've had so many injuries (other hip, foot, shoulder, and now this hip) that I've had to stop running several times. I don't know if I just run funky or have weak joints or what but I know people that run and run and aren't always getting injured like I am. So I'm feeling a little whiney right now. I'm hoping like heck that next Saturday I can run, even if it's only 3 miles.
