Literally.
So practice last night was pretty relaxed...nothing too ridiculous or anything. And I felt fine. Felt fine during the run, fine after the run, fine when I went to bed. At 4:45am, I woke up...feeling as if someone was stabbing my right hip with an ice pick. Stretching didn't help. Walking around didn't help. So I tried to get a couple more hours of sleep, which was only partially successful.
Then when I woke up for reals, same thing! Arrrrgh. So I thought, okay, I'll walk to the bus, go to school, reassess. The walk (which normally takes 7 minutes) took me almost 15 b/c my right side kept collapsing on me. Big, big boo. So since my dr is on the way to school, I scheduled an appt and they told me to "rest and take lots of extra-strength ibuprofen". See if it gets better, yada, yada, yada. I've never had pain like this before, and it was so out of the blue. She thought it's a strained ligament/tendon or something. I don't know. I just know that it's hard to work (much of my labwork involves a lot of walking around), hard to walk, and training is out of the question. Sucks because I was just thinking last night how running fast is feeling easy these days. Note to self: do not jinx yourself.
Hopefully this will end as suddenly as it began. In that hope, I'm off to take a couple more Wal-profen. I love how they make up their own tacky names. Seriously, I love walking down the aisles and seeing what sort of fake names they are able to come up with.

Oh no! You were totally tearing up the track last night. Let's hope this is completely random and that you wake up tomorrow just fine. Maybe you slept on it funny?

I hope so! I have my fingers crossed that this mysterious pain will leave as quickly as it came. Here's to ice and advil :-)
