Miles, broken up.

I hit 32 miles last week! Over thirty, OMG!
The problem with that is that many were walking miles. I've been cleared to not take walk breaks, but I found that when I did that, I was having pain with walking later in the day. So the breaks came back - every mile, 2 miles, or 3 miles, depending on the day.

I am probably going to call my doctor after I hit the 16 week post-op mark. I haven't been progressing lately: I felt better, starting running, felt ok, but had pain later...and there it has stayed. I did talk to him while at work, and he seemed to think that was fine and normal, and reminded me that I may still have pain for months, years, or forever. But I have to know that I am not damaging anything in this hip. I don't want to blithely run it into ruination!

Could the pain be nerve damage? Sure. I already had nerve involvement before surgery.
Could it be residual surgical pain? Definitely.
Could it be continued pinching and catching of the labrum? It could, but I need to make sure it's not!

Until then, I'm still breaking the miles up a little with walking. It's a smart way to ease back in anyway.
