Injury! Injury!

The little girl who cried wolf.  Not really!  My first injury related problem of my training!  Help! 

So, I ran 4 miles today on my lunch break.  I got late information that my evening was going to be occupied so I took the liberty to run during my lunch break.  Even though I'm usually very opposed to such because I get all sweaty and icky and my hair.... pshhh, let's just not even go there.  But I did today.  It took me 38 minutes and 40 seconds.  (Still under 10-minute miles!) 

Near mile 2, the outside of my right leg from the knee up started hurting, all the way up to my hip.  I actually had to stop at 2.5 miles and try to stretch it.  How do you stretch the outside of your thigh???  I haven't figured it out yet.  It was like my bone ached.  I finished the run, went back to my desk, and continued to ache every time I got up.  It Hurts!  *Bad!*  And I don't know what to do about it.  I guess I have to rest it tomorrow and pray it's all better.  Though if any of you have recommendations on how to fix an achey and sore outside thigh/knee/hip, whatever all the business is, I'm allll ears!

I'm going to go look up some crazy yoga poses now.
