Great post, Christy. I know the agony of hip pain. It's hard for active people to listen to their bodies. You could have SI Joint Dysfunction. Good news is you can alleviate SI joint pain. :) Check out this Pilates-based program: http://www.sijointdysfunctionrx.com/

I usually ignore it, which is obviously not the answer! I am glad you are listening to your body and doing the right thing! The races will be there when you are better.

I am so glad you are being smart Christy! I am thinking super positive thoughts for FAST healing so you can get back out there asap. Hang in there!

you are smart.
smarter than me.
I should have done just that back in June.
I Ignored groin pain.
I am still not pain free. I am better but not pain free. I have not been good at doing my PT since HTC and i am paying for it now.

I did not forget about your NUUN. Will get it in the mail asap!!

ugh, i'm sorry you had to make this decision. i know how much you wanted to do these races! i hope the month off gives you time to make a full recovery!

Oh, I know this couldn't have been an easy decision, but it's probably the smart thing to do. I hope you heal quickly and feel better by October!

I didn't really start listening to my body until I got injured. You are doing the right thing and your patience will pay off in the end. I know it sucks and it's a tough call but it looks like you know what you need to do. Hang tough my friend!

Why is listening to our bodies so hard to do??? I am trying to hear what mine is saying. Rest and recover!

Good luck with recovering, I am sure you are making the right decision. I know you will feel better once the pain is gone and you are back to new!

Sometimes the right decision is the hardest one. You'll bounce back in no time!

I dont know....Im in the same boat. I have RnR Denver also but my hammy is and has been angry for awhile. Piriformis issues and I have a race on Oct 13 here (well, closer then Denver) that my husband is signed up to run also and I dont want to hurt myself badly in Denver and not be able to run in Scottsbluff. Uhhh...decisions decisions!!!

2012-09-08T13:24:46.015-06:00

I've learned I can have speed or volume (of races), but not both. Way to listen to it, get better, then come back with a good plan for next year.

Smart choice. I am usually not as smart, but I'...

2012-09-08T12:50:00.135-06:00

Smart choice. I am usually not as smart, but I'd like to be. Another case of dreams not being reality.:) I tend to ignore pains, but I am currently making weekly visits to a PT, which has helped a lot. Also have hip issues. My PT practices myofascial release, and I love it.

2012-09-08T12:27:55.018-06:00

I usually don't ever listen to my body unless it involves extreme pain. That being said, I listened to it about my tendonitis and it totally worked! So, I hope you have the same experience that I did :)

2012-09-08T12:18:56.010-06:00

It's hard to listen to your body sometimes. You just want to be able to run:) But, we have to do it to make sure our running can continue. Good job planning your cross training:)
