Running (Easy distance plus) 34:15 [3] 3.8 mi (9:01 / mi)
(injured) shoes: Jan10 2 Gel Kayano 11
Lake Ranch Reservoir. Heel didn't feel as bad as usual, and after a few minutes, it didn't hurt at all! As consequence, I got going much faster than usual, and it felt really good. Was on the pace to run about a minute faster than my best on this run in this year, though I was still running fairly easily. HOWEVER: my left hip was sore right from the beginning. After about 20 minutes, I realized that it was actually a little worse, and thought I should consider stopping, or at least slowing down. But I was having such a good run, I didn't want to. 5 minutes later I realized that I should seriously consider not finishing the run as my hip was feeling worse. Not long after that, I knew I had to stop, but I was only 100m from where I usually take a split so I figured I would just go to there. BUT a few steps later, there was a big pop in my hip - I both felt and heard it (kinda sounded like when you crack your knuckles). My left work stopped working at that point. After a couple of minutes, I managed to walk back, albeit with a pronounced limp. I'm afraid that something really bad happened in there :-(
