Was meant to run yesterday, but hip felt a bit off and again today. Ugh, I wish this was one of those "you've waited the allotted time, now you're completely healed!" things. I dont even know if those things actually exist. But in my head, a bone, once healed, is healed, right? I know there is a lot of scar tissue and muscular weakness that can occur with SFx and reactions... so Im not really concerned that I've reinjured. Just sick of having to be careful and just want to go outside and RUN!!

Nope. 60 mins elliptical instead.

I was too pouty to even do the core work I had planned. :(

Smart girl! I struggled a lot with figuring out if my stress fracture was healed this summer. At one point after running 48 miles in a week (after careful build) I even took a week and a half off because I thought it came back. I've heard from a lot of people that have these and noticed myself, you get a lot of phantom pains that can last up to a year. The run that helps calm me down is if you can push on it and hop on it with no pain, you are probably okay.

I know it's hard, but you already invested so much time. Stay patient and don't waste what you've already invested. :)

Thanks Jackie - thats REALLY encouraging to hear. I ran this morning, and felt good - the muscle discomfort (its more of an awareness of the area; not even pain) is really minor.

Where was your stress fracture? So glad to see you're running healthy now!

Mine was in my foot. I had a to wear a stinky boot that threw off my hip. In hindsight I wish I did more running specific strength work that could have been tolerated like one legged squats (focusing really well on form and alignment), calf strengthening, and balancing.

Really, you will just have to build back your base and get used to the impact. But it does come back!
