It's one week after the 2008 Kokoda Challenge and once again I'm back to running short distances due to injury. Although the injury has changed this time... my knees both pulled up ok after Kokoda (yay!), but I'm having trouble with my left hip now.
I've not done any running all week - was only able to walk properly after about Wednesday due to the same issue - and managed to get out about a kilometre this afternoon before I started noticing the pain gently kick back in. I kept going for about another kilometre, but once the pain started to increase past the point of "slight niggle" I dropped back to a run/jog combination for the rest of the way home.
Ahh, well... back to the tennis ball/pressure point massage for another day or two; Bridge to Brisbane's on in 6 weeks, and I'd like to do a race for once that doesn't involve painkillers ;-)
