I have really struggled this week. The inflammation in my back has died down somewhat, but the problem in my right hip has gotten worse. I thought that cutting back on my mileage would help me to really loosen up and get energized for my upcoming race, but so far the result has been the exact opposite. I believe that I am experiencing bursitis in my hip, so I need to really focus on stretching and strengthening my hamstrings and glutes. Anyway, today's run went okay, but I certainly hope that I am able to solve the problems that I am dealing with so that I can have a good race.
