A work colleague scared me enough based on his own experience...
So on the off chance I might have a stress fracture in the femoral neck (the leg bone is connected to the hip joint at the top with a ball...if the ball breaks off, well, you are in a world of hurt with a "broken hip"),
I went to a sports orthopedic doctor yesterday, started with x-rays, which were inconclusive. The doctor said if it feels better to rest...then rest, don't run. But since I was determined to run the marathon against his recommendation, he sent me for an MRI. I should get the results in a couple days.
So I will rest while I wait. (Trying to be) Confident that the 292.8 miles I ran over the last 3 months will carry me the next 26.2.
