Apparently I wasn't quite ready to run a half back in October. I ended up with some terrible hip flexor pain. I tried resting for 4 or 5 days and then running. Then I tried running 2 miles at a time, everyday. Still hurting. Work knocked me out of running for two weeks, then rest a week. Anyway, here I am 6 or 7 Weeks after the half and managed 4 slow miles. I came home and stretched and rolled and feel pretty good. One more thing. Cold air is evidently hard to breathe. Temp during my run was around 38 to 40. I didn't have much of a base before, but even that's gone. Time to get to work! Willis

Ya, do go easy.  Hip flexors are no joke!!

 

Get good at the hip flexor stretch where you kneel on one knee.  I actually stretch out my groin as well as my hip flexor by dipping, tilting, whatever gives me a couple different feelings of stretch in that whole area.

 

Also, quit running every day.  I'd highly recommend going every other day if I were you.
