Hip pain?

Well, something good is happening :cool: Pretty much as soon as I started the breathing exercises my chiropractor and the lateral core exercises my coach gave me, my hip symptoms have almost disappeared. Time will tell if this has "solved" it, but there seems a connection.

In other fronts, we've settled on my first competition date in February! I HAD been planning on early December (in New Jersey), but that is a bit too soon. I've come a long way, but I won't be quite ready for December. I ALSO want my first competition to be in driving distance, not a very expensive trip to the east coast! My two training partners will be coming with me, so all three of us will debut at the kettlebell competition platform party at the same time :D They are both much younger than I, so they help me stay humble on my progress. I've come a long way, but it does take a bit longer at 55 than 25.

Catrin, I feel for you, mine actually presents in my knee, not my hip but will wake me up sometimes when I attempt to roll over.

For me I've found working on hip mobility has worked much better on my IT Band and hammies than rolling ever did, but that's just been my experience recently.
