I wish there was a “hooray” at the end of that title, but sadly no. Just when I thought I might have this cranky right hip under control, it let me know that it was in no mood to play nice (especially if there are hills involved). Sigh…
Nonetheless, there was fitness to be had…here’s how my workouts played out.
Weekly Run Down – Week 31
Monday — Lower Body Strength, Core, and Hip Stretch. I kicked off Matty’s Summer Crunch Core Challenge along with Kim, Coco, Cari, and Deborah – always nice to work out with friends!
Tuesday — Low Impact Ride, Full-Body Strength, Core, and Stretch.
Wednesday –– 4-mile birthday run and Core.
Hello 55!
Thursday — Bike Bootcamp (live class), Core, and Stretch. This was only my second bootcamp class and the first time I tried 45 mins. Not gonna lie this class was challenging, but it was fun to get a high five from Kim at the start. I definitely needed some extra recovery time on the mat!
Friday — Yoga and Core.
Saturday — 4 miles, Core, and Stretch. My plan called for 6 miles, but my hip wanted no part of it. Throw in some oh-so steamy weather and I just didn’t see any point in pushing it.
A beautiful view to distract me from my cranky hip
Sunday — 10K Scenic Ride, Core, and Stretch. Initially, I had thought about trying a short run, but given the way my hip was feeling I was pretty sure it would tolerate the pounding. Thankfully, time on the Peloton bike doesn’t seem to bother my hip, so I decided to mix things up a bit and tried one of the scenic rides. I did the 10K Aguirre Spring (New Mexico) ride – the scenery was beautiful and I enjoyed the playlist.
On Monday, I saw my doctor, who happens to be a runner too 🙂 She’s put in a referral with a sports doc, so I’m just waiting to get the appointment set up. In the meantime, for the week ahead, there will be PT exercises and lots of stretching. As for running, I’ll take it a day at a time but may consider sticking to the bike only.
Tell me something about your week.

I’m linking up with Kim and Deborah for the Weekly Run Down.
Oh wow I’m so bummed for you and your ornery hip. I was so hoping it’d cooperate. Sigh. I hope your appointment goes well and gives you some answers.
Thanks – the long wait to get the appointment is so frustrating!
Oh no. Tell your hip to be quiet. Hope the dr can help.
Me too! 🙂
I’m so sorry to hear about your hip. Anxious to find out what the sports med doctor says. ITB? Hang in there.
Hard to know what the source of the problem is. Hoping to get that appointment soon!
So sorry about your hip. I hope you get in to see the sports doc soon. Jess Sims’ bootcamps are the toughest!
That bootcamp was crazy! I wonder if they’re all that tough or if it was just a Jess thing 😉
Sorry to hear that your hip is bothering you again. Have you had an MRI? Those bootcamp classes are really tough I have not done one in a while. Hope you feel good this week
I’d love to get an MRI, but I’m told the way the insurance works I have to get an x-ray first, then referred to a sports doc who can then order an MRI. Kind of a crazy process, right?
Ugh to the naughty hip. Hoping things feel better for you…the hip (and vicinity) is such a tricky region. My grumpy hip didn’t like running inclines this weekend and, lucky me, I have a nice one at the base of my driveway. The act of “lifting” that foot just felt “compromised,” but going up the stairs doesn’t affect it (???). It’s feeling much better, but I’m going to be walking the first stretch of my runs, to not provoke anything on that first incline…fingers crossed…
Sorry to hear your hip’s been grumpy – running inclines definitely annoys mine. Interesting what you said about the stairs because mine isn’t bothered by stairs either. Hopefully, your plan to walk at the beginning of your runs will help!
Boo to the hip pain 🙁 I hope that the sports doctor will be able to see you soon. Thanks for joining the BBC on Thursday. It was reassuring to know that friends were going through the same torture as me lol.
That bootcamp was extra spicy! Definitely helped knowing I was not alone LOL!
I got back to volunteering with parkrun so that’s my week summed up. Ran there, volunteered, got a lift back with a friend, ran home. I did other stuff but that was the special one.
Good luck with the referral to the sports doc and hope it can be easily fixed. Glad the peleton bike doesn’t bother it. Take care!
Thanks Liz! How fun that you’re back to volunteering!
Happy birthday, but that hip can go jump in a lake! i’m sorry it’s still troubling you, but I hope you get some answers and get back to full strength soon!
Thank you Jenn 🙂
Oh no, I hope everything is okay. After my recent issue, just hearing about hip pain makes me groan. I will say that after some PT my hip is now 100%, so they do heal up! I hope you can get in to see the sports doc soon. In the meantime sounds like you’re staying in excellent shape… good luck with it!
So great to hear that you’re feeling 100%
Well, we did have our trip to the trail last week, which was nice. Always nice to have a new view!
I’m sorry your hip is still not enjoying running, but it’s good that it tolerates biking. Hoping for decent news from the sports doc for you!
I am grateful that the bike doesn’t bother it – gives me a good cardio outlet!
Glad your went to the doctor to check out the hip. That is too long of a time for it to hurt and not get better. Hopefully soon you’ll get an answer. I am catching up on reading posts and I’ve spent much of the week setting up my room. I hope to be done by tomorrow.

Hope all went well with your classroom setup!
Oh no! I hope it feels better. I got adjusted by my chiropractor and changed shoes and that helped me. Have you been wearing different shoes?
It’s interesting that you asked about the shoes cause I was wondering if I need to take a fresh look at what I’m wearing. I’ve been wearing Brooks Adrenaline for the past couple of years – picked up the newest model a couple of months ago. They don’t feel terribly different from the previous model, but I wonder…
