Thanks for joining Kim and me for the Weekly Run Down this week. I am unfortunately still experiencing some hip and Psoas pain that is preventing me from running. Don’t worry, I am not taking this lying down and I am doing everything I can to keep moving. Here’s how my week went down with lots of walking into November.
Walking into November
Monday- 30 min Peloton + 60 minute strength training
Cycling doesn’t seem to make my pain feel any worse, so as long as I don’t stand up I am peddling ahead. Did mostly upper body work and stretching today. I did still put on my Zappos x Brooks birthday shoes for a little walk. They are so cute with the sprinkles.
Tuesday- 30 minutes elliptical + 60 minute hot yoga class
Hot yoga was exactly what my body needed. The warm stretch felt so good.
Wednesday- 30 min elliptical + 90 min strength training and boxing
While I was not able to do my usual kicks, we did lots of punching today. Tons of abs and upper body moves were a big part of my workout. This is one of my favorite post workout stretches.
Thursday- 3 mile walk
It was a beautiful day for a walk but have to admit, I was getting a little frustrated. It felt great to get some fresh air but I need to sweat to feel like I’ve accomplished something.
Friday- 4 mile walk
Luckily, one of my besties offered to walk with me this morning. Our miles flew by and even had a nice stop at our favorite coffee shop. It’s a lot colder when you are walking instead of running.
Saturday hot yoga class 60 min
Hot yoga felt good on a cold chilly morning. Working on my dancer’s pose. Some days you are flexible and some days not so much.
Sunday- Peloton 45 min cycle
Always feels good to sweat it out on my bike.
After a little more than 2 weeks of hip pain and no running, I finally caved in and made an appointment with my Ortho for tomorrow. I suspect he will have to send me for an MRI to figure out what is going on. Fingers crossed it’s not too serious. This wasn’t how I envisioned November starting off but I am trying to make the most of it. To end on a positive note, I am looking forward to some birthday fun this week. What are you looking forward to this week?
Lovely leggings and glad you’ve been able to be somewhat active. Hope you get to the cause of this pain quickly and resolve it. I’m looking forward to … lots of work this week so I hope I get all my activity in. I will see a friend when I run to collect some cheese from her …
running for cheese sounds good! Have a great week
Here’s to hoping that there’s nothing serious wrong with your hip and that you’re back on the road soon. Injuries suck! At least you can cycle and do your strength training.
Yes I am kind of afraid to find out but I need to know. Grateful I can still do my other activities yes
I’ll keep my fingers crossed you get some (positive) answers tomorrow. Being side-lined is a buzzkill. Even if we have other fitness options, not being able to do the one favorite activity is tough. Yes, it is much colder walking in compared to running…a lot of well-meaning people thought I was nuts to be so cold in those late summer months (a couple years ago) when I was “only” walking and not able to run LOL Hope your birthday week goes well 😉
Yes it is hard to be side lined especially birthday week. I am trying to do all that I can to stay active. Thanks!
Aw I love the shoes and the leggings. I hope your hips get better soon, fingers crossed that the doc will figure it out. IMO some of the best posts on WRD are the ones that deal with injury. It’s just a sad fact that it’s something that we all deal with from time to time and we need to hear from each other how to get through it.
Thanks it’s just the nature of running and being active isn’t it? I am going to write about missing my race later this week
I am just looking forward to being home for a week (fingers crossed). I’m sorry you’re still in such pain. It’s really hard. But glad you were able to walk with a friend. I always have the dogs to walk (although they’re not great conversationalists).
Definitely hope your results come back not too serious! Good luck, Deborah! And your dancer looks awesome, but yes, we are not the same day to day.
Ha I guess if you talk to your dogs you will be always be right 🙂 Perhaps I will improve my yoga while I heal
Ugh. I’m so sorry your hit is still not feeling 100%. I’m sending all the speedy recovery vibes your way. Hope your birthday week is amazing! Thanks for the linkup.
Thanks Marcia appreciate it!
Good luck at the ortho! Hopefully they can figure out what is wrong and you’ll be back running in no time. In the meatnime, you’ve done a great job of staying active! Have fun doing birthday stuff!
Thanks I hope so too!
I hope you figure out what’s up with your hip and it can be resolved quickly.
I’m looking forward to some birthday fun this week as well!
Thanks me too! Happy birthday to you as well
So many great leggings and lots of ❤️From 🧘♂️ Happy to walk with you any day!
Looking forward to your hip recovery for a holiday run. In the interim, many great Birthday celebrations.
Thanks and sure let’s do it
I need that stability ball stretch in my life – totally going to try that out this week!
It’s a good one!
I’m sorry your psoas is still acting up. Those b-day shoes are so cute! Have fun celebrating!
Thanks happy early birthday to you as well
I hope you get good news from your appointment. My fingers are crossed that it’s just something that needs a little time. Your new shoes are so cute! Those would make me smile every time I put them on.
Thanks my fingers are crossed too! The shoes are adorbs cannot wait to run in them too
I think you are smart to visit your ortho guy to see what is happening with your hip oain. When I finally found the right doctor, it made all the diffeence in the world to me. Love your new kicks!
I was kind of in denial but I need to know!
Well boo on the dr’s appointment, but I hope you get some answers and direction! I know what you mean – it’s so hard when you really want to work up a good sweat! Love the shoes. So cute!
Thanks me too
Sorry your hip is still bothering you! Hoping its nothing serious. Its great that you could still get in all of those other workouts, but I know you miss running!
sure do miss running thanks!
I hope everything goes well with the ortho appointment! Injuries suck, but sometimes even just knowing a timeline can help.
Yes you are right, I think it will be better to know and have a timeline
You have a great attitude. Hope it’s nothing serious.
Love love those shoes.
Thanks sure trying as best I can
Oh man – good luck with your appointment. I hope its only good news for you!! And I love those adorable Brooks with the sprinkles – too cute. In fact, I love all your outfits. You have the best workout pants mama!!
Thanks I do love a good printed legging 🙂
Ick sorry to hear about your hip pain. It’s no fun. I had a hip labral tear back in 2014 and hot yoga definitely helped me rehab it faster than if I hadn’t done that. Hopefully you find answers and keep up with the cross training…I know it’s not running but its better than nothing. Also those Brooks are so cute. I really love them. Wish I’d waited to order my Ghosts until those came out…I got my latest pair like a week prior lol.
Oh I did not realize you had a hip issue before. I don’t think it’s that one but if it is I will be giving you a shout out for help. You really bounced back well though!
Oh no! I am sorry to hear you are still experiencing pain. Hope it isn’t too serious and you can get back to running soon.
Me too me too thanks
Ugh. Good luck with your appointment. I also hope it’s nothing serious.
Is the bike working out ok for you? Whenever my hip freaks out, I know that’s the one workout I can count on.
Love that you have such a great variety, even when injured. Take care of yourself and fingers crossed it’s an easy fix.
Yes the bike is really helping me keep up my cardio. Thanks I hope it goes well too
I hope the appointment with the doctor goes well and that you have a good birthday week!
Thanks so much!
Those birthday shoes are awesome. And I love all your tights this week. Perfect against a dreary winter.
Hope your ortho has some good ideas to get you out of pain soon.
Thanks me too! Fingers crossed
I’m so sorry your hip pain persists! Injuries are awful! I’m still super impressed by your ability to be so active despite your injury. You go, Deborah!
Thanks Lex appreciate that 🙂
So sorry you’re still dealing with hip pain. You did a great job of staying active this week. Keeping my fingers crossed that the MRI reveals nothing serious.
Me too thanks Michelle
slowing down isn’t much fun but those floral tights are so cute!! And I feel like slowing down at least gives us an opportunity to do all those little things that we normally like to skip as runners…or maybe that’s just me? haha! I meant to link up sooner but missed the deadline I suppose! 😀 hope you are on the running road soon!!
Slowing down is really hard for me! Our linkup ends at 12 pm on Monday.Hope to see you this week
oh okay! I got it! Thanks! 🙂
