Let me begin by saying it's all Tom's fault. He decided when turning 49 that, by the age of 50, he wanted to be "in the best shape of my life." Nicely, he asked if I wanted to join him in his fitness quest. So he's been working out with a trainer and has new muscles neither of us knew he was capable of having. I joined a running class, was professionally fitted for great running shoes, and began working with a certified running coach.
Six weeks later . . . and I'm hurting! While running last week my knee, and then my hip, began hurting. It's only gotten worse. No fall, no "pop," just noticed an achy sort of pain. I started walking and didn't push myself, but apparently I've suffered a running injury. My primary care doctor said to give it five days, take anti-inflammatories, and stretch.
I'm making an appointment to see a specialist tomorrow. I foresee surgery.
But maybe it won't be as bad as I fear.

I'm with you on not being a runner. I do like walking.
Good for you both in your fitness goals. I hope you have a quick recovery and that you don't have to have surgery.
Nice to hear how you are doing, Darla! Miss the sweet Palfreyman family!
Sorry to hear about your injury. Hoping you don't need surgery. Keep me posted.
