My gluteus medius hurts

Not my gluteus maximus. My gluteus medius. I went to see Wayne this afternoon, ran into Cincha getting her shoe inserts, and Wayne said my hip pain (which I haven't mentioned in blogs until now) is my gluteus medius. I had noticed this pain on one side, just below my waistline after running, and yesterday I could feel it while running. It gets worse if I sit still and get stiff, or ride for a long time. I noticed it big time driving back from the beach Sunday after running the 9 miler Saturday. Anyway, I decided that the new "One Call, That's All" phone number should be to Wayne, and once again, he fixed me right up. I now have stretches and exercises to do, so if I stop during the run and do something odd, just know it's my gluteus medius acting up again.

I hadn't run this morning because of this, but now will run this afternoon (on the treadmill -- my apologies to Sandy, my doggie), since I know I'm not hurting anything.

Can't wait to see all of you Saturday, after the sunrise. I know I won't be able to see you until then except if I shine my finger light in your face. I have new tunes on my new ipod, a song in my heart, and am ready to go. Woohoo!!!!
