Still not running!

Although my butt issue seems to be improving I still cannot run without discomfort. I am pretty discouraged and try to remain optomistic and cheerful but it's pretty hard. I now plan on taking off another week to see what happens. Swimmimg seems to be the only thing I can do without discomfort so I'll do that in the meantime. If it's not better in a week, I'm going to see a sports doctor that I met and he seems pretty knowledgeable. He gave a talk at the running club meeting the other night and is quite the athlete himself. I'll probably go to the chiropractor at least once this week and will continue to roll on the ball and ice it. I don't ever remember having anything like this but I guess after running my first 100 miler and following that by a tough 50K and still not taking time off after that, takes a toll. Too many hills! Hopefully I'll learn to not overdo it next time. I really miss being able to run and socialize. We don't do much socialization around here other than that so it's pretty lonely and depressing. Oh well, I'm sure that all will be well in a week or so. In the meantime, I just have to learn to find something else that I like to do and start doing it. Enough for now. Pity party over! (probably not but at least for the moment!)
