ReNEWED HOPE!!! : D    After work let me go home at 4 am because they were tired of seeing me whince in pain.....I came home slept til 830am.   Up for two wondering about this hip that still continued to plague me.    I iced a lot last night.  But that didn't last long.  Then I bloated up like a balloon in my stomach and felt just awful.  So...  I self deep massaged it, hurting now mostly in the front upper hip area.  Had husband hold pressure there.  Hurt so good.  Yowsers.  Went back to bed for two hours got up thinking of a "no run" day.  But just said " I got to get out there or I will give up".  So I put on shorts a nylon t-shirt, headband and gloves and faced the sunshiny wicked windy day.  It felt nice but my hip sure didn't.  The same tightness was coming on with every piece of clothing I put on.  Then as I reached for sneakers I decided "that's it I am going back to my oldies but goodies and sure enough it was a light at the end of the tunnel!!  Unbelievable the tightness gradually lessened with each step I took.  Pain level 4!!!   A 4 was a big step.  And with each passing mile I was feeling stronger and stronger, more hopeful!!  So basically I am opening up a new runner shoe shop called " JULIE'S MISFITS".  I am going to find a way to mold these shoes and have them hand made for me.  Hip still has gnawing pain but tightness improving tons since the change back.  So what if I don't conform?  so what if I am mal-aligned.  I'd rather be pain free with a poor form!!    Avg pace 8:19 for 7.11 miles.  I somehow went thru the "PG Triangle" at mile 6 my garmin stopped working.  It didn't show time moving or anything.  All keys were locked and suddenly it went off.  Then when it came back on it added my old time to my new mileage with a direct point to point.  It gave me a nice avg of 8:12 instead and 7.65 miles.  Weird.  Of course I knew better.  I was only just over a mile from home.  No cheating here.  To follow....excerpts from JULIE'S CHRONOLOGY OF AN INJURY...stupid human tricks not to be done at home....and a class I offer on-line for free "How Not To Train"  and other helpful hints to avoid injury.

Whatever are you going to do about shoes Julie LOL! They won't let you go! Maybe if you walk everywhere in the new shoes you can break them in to your weird gait? Or you are destined to run in those forever?! :) Looks like Ogden in old faithfuls!
