yesterday morning, i left the house for a quick 2-mile run and about half a block into it, realized i’d forgotten my sacroiliac belt that i’d been wearing as part of my physical therapy to recover from my whatever-the-heck-happened-to-me. (overuse injury? bad shoes? not sure.) anyway, last fall i’d been experiencing these sharp, twingy pains in my hips when running, so i’d stopped running and eventually ended up in a pt office doing strengthening exercises to try to solve the issue. in addition to the exercises, they also gave me this belt that i can cinch around my hips that helps to sort of keep me aligned and prevents most of the twingy pain, so i can continue to run.
like i said, i forgot the belt yesterday. but i decided to run through it and just stop if it started to hurt. here’s the happy part: it didn’t hurt for the whole two miles. huzzah!
