On Monday morning I felt like my jacked-up left leg was back to 100%, so I decided to go for it and run five miles at 6:49 pace. While the run itself went perfectly fine, afterwards my leg felt HORRIBLE—significantly worse than last week. So that day I called my physical therapist and made an appointment, which I had yesterday. I am already feeling better today, but I am definitely taking the rest of this week off from running and maybe even longer—there is just no good reason to risk a serious injury, particularly given the fact the marathon is still nearly ten months away. I have another physical therapy appointment on Friday, and will then decide whether I need to keep going. I also got the list of core/hip strengthening exercises my physical therapist recommended earlier this year, which should help.
