Can't run, but I can still spin. It was such a beautiful day, a shame to be indoors, but I can't believe I don't own a bicycle. Currently shopping for one.

I attempted running on the treadmill, but didn't get 10 steps before the hip said 'not a chance'. The Precor (a elliptical trainer) and the cycling felt fine. I can still be fit, I just can't run.

I've had this quote I used to use: "Someday I won't be able to run... today is not that day". I said it with pride, conviction and enthusiasm towards running.
I can't use that quote for a while. Hope it's a short while and not permanent.

Sounds like one of Dane Rauschenberg's quotes.

I hope it isn't permanent! Just give it time...today is not the day but tomorrow... -
Could be Dane's, not sure where I heard it.

My hip is damaged. Might need surgery.

Just got my MRI results back today. It's not the stress fracture that I thought, instead it's a full-thickness tear of my acetabular labrum. Might require surgery- not sure yet.
Unfortunately- I won't be posting any runs on this forum any time soo... read more

The only way to determine your physical limit, is to exceed it. I miss running.

x-ray came back negative. Which only means that I don't have arthritis or cartilige damage in my hip. I guess that's good for my long term health, but all indications still pointing towards a femoral neck stress fracture. From the sports docs I've sp... read more

Wow...I hope you feel better! Did you see the location in AZ from my posted workouts? Were you near there? I have to go back!

you mentioned Saguaro National Park in your post. I live on the east side of Tucson and run into the park for my long runs. Or, at least I used to when I was able to run. Just wait- come in another month when the whole desert is blooming. The hillsides will be bright yellow from the brittlebush and palo verde trees. The mesquites green out in mid April. Right now it's a bit barren looking.

Yikes, sorry to hear that it still sounds like a stress fracture. What terrible timing, even if it is common. :( Glad that your x-ray ruled out some other things though. Good luck, Morey.

I just have to realize that sometimes it's the journey that's more important than the goal. How else would you find out what your limits are, unless you exceed them.

Perhaps I'm just a victim of internet medicine, but my pain feels a lot like this: http://bit.ly/98kd57
I could have a hip stress fracture. Great. My training is done and I'm 19 days from my 1st marathon. I'm ready- except for my bones. I'll call ... read more1 person liked what Morey said-
That sucks, Morey. I have been through the frustration of training all winter for a spring marathon only to get an injury that stopped my training and, in my case, eventually caused me to miss the race. Fortunately for me, it was not my first marathon, but I still remember how upsetting it was.
Good luck, and be smart about your body. There will be more marathons.

Ah Morey, I'm sorry :( That really bites. I hope you feel better soon. Any chance you can roll your reg fee to the next year's race? Or maybe there is a chance you can still run??

Good luck Morey, I'm hoping for the best for you.

Morey shared a photo
I haven't run in Nike's since high school, and I hated them then. Always wrapped my peds in Saucony or Brooks. But, slipped a pair of these Lunarglides on and they felt terrific. Cushy, soft, stable. Not crazy about the color though. My new sneaks!

I'm curious about these. The midsole looks really beefy in every picture I've seen. I guess a first hand fit in them would scratch that itch.

I've only got one 7 mi run in them so far, but they are an interesting shoe. They are not billed as a stability shoe, but I was impressed with the amount of support they offered for my flat feet, and I liked where I felt it- more towards the heal rather than under my arch. The style, of course, is subjective. I kinda like the ones with the bright soles, but my running shop only had this color scheme. Unlike past Nike's I've tried, the shoe is wider and roomier. Pretty comfy.

Nice. Don't take too long to decide though. Prices go up in the spring/summer.
2 days agoYeah, but for me, half the fun is searching for just the right bike, for just the right deal. Plus, if I take long enough, perhaps my hip will feel better and I won't need a bike. :)
