Day 56 Afternoon Run
I went home for a family day on day 56 as usual on a tuesday and went for an afternoon run over there. The weather was quite hot, but the distance of the loop I made was not that long and I stepped it up a bit on the average pace of around 11km/h.
Near the end I started to feel some pain around my right hip though, not sure what this is but it keeps coming back and might be due to running faster. I don't have issues with it when taking a long walk or running slower. My stretched leg is fixed. I will see how it feels on day 57 and continue based on that.

Thanks !
Keep it up! Looks like you are doing well on staying on track to develop those healthy habits. As far as the pain in your hip, do you warm up well before you are running that faster pace? Make sure to spend a good 10 minutes warming up then cooling down with some stretching to see if that helps. I would also suggest bringing in some more leg exercises in addition to your squats if you haven't already. Lunges, hip bridges, step ups--things like that can help strengthen up your hips and legs for running, too. :)
I do stretch and usually walk a couple minutes first, I will try warming up first next time and will work on the leg exercises which I most of the time neglect. I will look for those names of exersices you mentioned! I' quite the newbie when it comes down to all these things and usually do most what I actually enjoy. The feedback is really helpful !
We all start somewhere! I want you to be able to continue doing what you're doing, so making sure to take care of yourself from the start will keep you exercising for a lifetime. I would like to get back to posting some more workout ideas, but it's tough to find time to fit it all in! @hangryginger posts some really great exercise videos, so if you don't follow her already go check out her page for some new ideas. :)
Our running shoes have magic in them -
the power to transform a bad day into a good day;
frustration into speed; self-doubt into confidence;
chocolate cake into muscle.
