Gigi D Posted January 6, 2015 Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 Today will be w1d3 for me!!! After running day 2 on Sunday I had a huge flare up with sciatica pain in my left hip. I have been doing stretches and plan on going for an adjustment at my chiropractor this afternoon. My main question is should I try to push through day 3 today or wait until tomorrow. I don't want to discourage myself and not go nor do I want to risk serious injury. My sister in law who was a PE teacher for 25 years is suffering end stage fully progressed melanoma and I want to honor her in my first marathon and my next marathon and everyone after that... So any suggestions will be appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timb113 Posted January 6, 2015 Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 Gigi, you have to listen to your body. I would say take the day off, and if feeling better, get after it tomorrow. I'm currently unable to run due to a knee problem because I overdid it. One day off is not going to derail your program, but running an extra day, when you probably shouldn't, could put you off the road for a week or more to recover.

Azatol Posted January 7, 2015 Report Share Posted January 7, 2015 Hopefully your chiropractor has a massage therapist. Ask her/him tif you have a rotated hip. if so they need to work the muscle loose so the chrio can pop it back into place. Sometimes takes a bit. If your toes point a bit outward when you stamnd that very well may be it. I had this problem and 2 years of pain before we figured it out. Takes time to retrain the muscle memory but I walk straight and pain free. My toes always face due north Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
