I was able to run, but very uncomfortably, but because it never healed, it continued to be bothersome for me. It threw my gait off and the alignment of my hips so much that I was left with a pelvic (sacral) stress fracture on July 4th, and was out for 8 weeks and have spent the last 3 months building back up. It took until the beginning of November for my psoas to completely heal. This has been my ONLY injury (or, two injuries really) in 12+ years of running. <br /><br />Psoas injuries stink - there is no way to fully rest them - it is irritated by sitting and by standing.I was unable to do core work or planks until the beginning of December (10 months, unable to do core workout without AWFUL pain). <br /><br />I hope yours heals way faster than mine does. I was deceived by thinking that since I COULD run on it, I should run, and that led me to a stress fracture. Play it safe and hopefully you will be back way quicker (and with less pain) than I!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13430848085267729710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2785887441872369030.post-27890883377991581292016-12-31T08:26:51.603-08:002016-12-31T08:26:51.603-08:00Brutal.

I'm coming back from a stress fracture to run a 15k in 22 days, but now I have perineal tendinitis that's keeping me slow and I plan to rest it once I get through the 15k.

It's frustrating, I know. Being and school full time and taking care of three kids and a husband has left me with no time to train. I am seriously considering dropping my full into a half in February and trying not to let it get to me. When I look at the big picture I wonder if God was trying to tell me something. The last week I have been doing a lot of resting and relaxing and not feeling guilty. I think it's what I am supposed to be doing right now. Love you girl, chin up, let's get out there together soon. Even if it's for a walk or a hike!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16912856341617010190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2785887441872369030.post-91955166911549303652016-12-31T03:48:58.439-08:002016-12-31T03:48:58.439-08:00Take it easy!

You worked too hard for that BQ to not give it your all.

I hope in January you get answers and return to your "normal" running whatever that might be after seeing a doctor. As for me, my hamstring had issues after my first full in May (Napa I was feeling it), but i just figured I wasn't stretching enough. Went into another training cycle only to have it worsened in September and extended to my entire hamstring and glue. My bad for not listening and truly resting. I had to decrease my running significantly and scrap any hopes of running a fall half for a PR. Worse is that all flexibility is gone. I went from being able to touch my toes to barely being able to get past my knees. So I'm working to get that back and some speed and mileage. It's all my fault for many reason. Not nearly as severe as what you are experiencing but I can relate a little. <br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14083638780283750329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2785887441872369030.post-29349551840507935872016-12-30T20:24:25.407-08:002016-12-30T20:24:25.407-08:00Oh my gosh!

I had to stop running altogether for awhile, which was pure torture. I've had hip issues too, and for me it was how I was using my muscles (or not using them) while running. <br /><br />I hope things get better quickly! Then maybe I can say hello in person when you come to LA in March!TriGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16289885288405245140noreply@blogger.com
