1 mile

Last Friday I took a steroid injection to the hip joint. It was not a pleasant experience. It HURT!! But, my doctor is hoping that the steroid will calm down the pain in my hip and get me back to where I want to be. The bad news is - if it doesn't work, I get to entertain the real possibility that I need hip surgery at 27 years old!! But the good news is - so far it's working like it should. They told me that today, if my hip was feeling okay, I could run for 10 minutes. And today, my hip is feeling good and I ran a mile! I never thought I would be so grateful to be able to run a mile!! I'm really hoping that I don't wake up with a sore hip tomorrow! Then I can try running a little longer in a couple days. We shall see!
