Thanks but no thanks for your help
Indeed, no one has bursitis the day, weeks,months, year until they get bursitis. Is is a slowly progressive set of issues that over time can be tipped over the edge, like you did with the long hill run. This means your mechanics weren't great in doing so but that in the past you have been getting away with it. Now that time has passed and so you need to take a look at your running style, footwear, diet etc. Remember you are now getting older as well and tissue regeneration is not as rapid and the tissue itself not as resilient as it once was.

No one is saying stop running, everyone is saying you don't just treat the symptoms, you look for the cause, especially if running is something you have a a passion. The choice is yours suffice to say that this issue will be a recurrent one if you don't look at the big picture
