Hip Endangerment
Just when we're coming up to National Running and Fitness Week I seem to have been revisited by a muscle spasm "thing" in my right hip/back. I'm not a runner and I'm often fed propaganda about how bad running can be for one's body, but at times I think maybe a predominantly sedentary lifestyle affords no protection whatsoever against injury and ailment and may even increase one's risk of pain and suffering. I seem to battle this particular whammy when I'm most under a deadline and in most need of sitting in this chair to get a lot of typing done, and not at those times when I'm out weeding and walking and cleaning and being active.
With a sports injury you at least have the satisfaction of telling people you hyperextended your joints or tested your body beyond its known limits in a burst of speed. I sat too much. Not only did it hurt my hip, but my pride takes another hit at the same time.
