I actually ran a little today, and nothing is hurting! After yoga, everything (hip, SI, groin) felt good. My intent was to hike on the trail that you can access from my neighborhood. So, I changed my top, kept my capris on, but I did not change into my trail running shoes, just kept my regular shoes on. Got down my driveway, and the urge to run just "overtook" me. Ran down the hill, with a short walk break on the uphill), onto the flat part of the trail. Didn't want to get my nice shoes all mucked up, so I decided to run up to the point where I can hike up a very steep incline, back to the street. This is a trail that I have only gone up or down on, on snowshoes. It is not the same one I have described as being steep. It's even steeper! But, shorter. I ran up as long as I could, started hiking, and actually had to stop for a sec. for a breath. The place where it intersects with the other side, which I usually go up, is probably 20% grade. You can see the street, but it is still a steep climb to it. Just as I crested the top and stepped down onto the street, I was thinking of walking back to the house (it's downhill from here) when a guy on roller skis was coming up on me. I guess peer pressure made me run to my mailbox. Then I walked up my driveway.
No idea how far, I'd say about 2 miles, maybe 1.75. I'm letting myself believe going up that climb counts for more. Will stretch more, use heat on my SI and hope all is well tomorrow. I am going to a conference, so I will be sitting for 8 hours.
