After two days of nonstop CrossFit, meaning moving, I am ready to begin my return to running Stoke March plan. 10 minute walking warm-up, then 3 x 1 minutes of running with four minutes of walking in between. Averaged eight minute pace, felt awesome, good place to start from.

5 x 90 seconds of running on the BST behind the U with 4-5 minute hike breaks. Easy peasy la la la.

15 minutes of analyzing my walking-ness at PT. Other than needing to extend my right hip back a tad, I am walking darned near normal. AND THEN... 10 minutes of RUNNING with walk breaks. Again, need to work on my right hip extension. When I try to extend more I lose my pelvic stability, but the extension should come with time though and dedicated hip flexor stretching. At this point I think it is more important to keep my pelvis stable than to have full hip extension.

We then came up with a nice hip maintenance and core exercise plan and I said g'bye to my PT and all the clinic staff. I held back my tears until I get into my car and then bawled my eyes out. It has been one long haul you could say. I have been going to that clinic almost weekly for two and a half years prehabbing and rehabbing three hip surgeries and assorted resulting ailments and I am honest to gosh going to miss all those peeps :(  I am so grateful for their support and awesomeness!

As of today (sitting, standing, AND running):

Zero pain in left hip.

Zero pain in right hip.

Nearly zero pain in low back/SI joint.

Little jaunt around lulu's loop. Ran when I felt like it and hiked when I felt like it.

Little jaunt up Mt. Wire this morning. Let me just say that is an AWESOME place to be during a High Wind Warning! My eyballs were frozen so I took a wrong turn on the way down and ended up going a way too steep way, which was a very good test of my hip. I survived 4.5 miles with 2300 feet of gain - yikers!

I have to take it down a notch since I am upping the stoke a little too quickly! No running or hiking until at least Thursday. Get back on the bike!

Going to update my FRB just because I need someplace to keep track of all the beers I will drink this week and their ratings.

PM: 90 minute run/mostly walk on the Deschutes River Trail. Cold, rainy, and so windy that the smell of hops was nicely wafting over to the other side of the river from the Deschutes Brewery.

Some lovely Nordic skiing in the woods below Mt. Bachelor. Lots of snow and pretty pines. I could easily be talked into moving to the Northwest.
