Went out for a mile walk around my neighborhood this evening and ended up on a 10-mile run - I love these days! Well actually I have been plagued with some gnarly hip funk since last Thursday and I have no idea what is going on. I can't really pinpoint the spot and it really hurts when I'm sitting or laying down but doesn't bug me at all when running. My right hip is the one with all the issues and this is the left - weird. I think I overstretched something in yoga. I just hope it goes away. It is nice reminder though that I need to do more besides running. Some more (or actual) cross-training and strength-training would probably be a good idea.

Half a mile on the treadmill after some serious elliptical action - sweet! First time in a gym (not counting the climbing gym) in probably around 7 years. Hip funk is... well funked. Feeling better after chiro attempted to pull leg out of hip socket eliciting giganto crunch this morning though.

Some time on the Pipeline Trail followed by the lunch buffet at Cafe Shambala. Coma-ing out the rest of the day...

Adventure in O-town! Ran from the Wheeler Creek Trailhead to Earl's Lodge just so I could take a load off in America's best bathroom (actually Snowbasin's bathrooms were only a top 10 finalist, but they are still ridiculously ornate). I just started reading Bargaining for Eden this weekend so the visit to Snowbasin was especially relevant - oh Earl! 

Loved the trails - super smooth, shady, and green - may just be my new fave. Hip is starting to feel slightly back to normal - psych! Massage this afternoon will hopefully push me over into full-on normalcy.

Well I took 7 days off of running and the hip pain is now worse when I run. Tried to go out for 2 miles and every time I landed on the left the pain in the hip just shot everywhere. Really starting to think this isn't some muscle issue because it doesn't loosen up with activity. It has been 3 weeks now and $500+ spent at the chiropractor... time to make an appointment with a "real" doc.

I am so sad :( In the past year I have had to deal much loss and so many changes and running has been my constant. I quite simply love it and it makes me happy. Now that I can't do it I feel like I am falling apart... complete meltdown imminent.

5.5 painless elliptical miles - yay! 

I am now a not so proud member of an actual gym...

Happy ellipitical miles!

Really thought I was on the up & up, but my MRI speaks to the contrary. A labrum tear, femoral acetabular impingement syndrome, plus a rather large abnormality of unknown significance on my ischium. Wish I really knew what this meant, but won't know until my appt. Monday. I guess that is the downside of being able to access my own medical record...  

I blame it all on the road running. Why did I ever leave the trail - bahhhhh!

Mountain biking is not only hard but very, very scary!

Good news! Sort of... doc is pretty certain that labrum tear was caused by yoga (how lame is that?) and is pretty confident that a cortisone injection will clear up the inflammation and have me running in no time. I tuned out when he started talking about what to do if that doesn't work - shaving bone off my femur blah blah blah... No more fire log pose!

More elliptical fun. Anxious to give running a try this weekend! Not quite sure if the cortisone has kicked in yet...

Three very precarious running miles as part of hiking-biking Montana adventure. Pretty sure I shouldn't be running yet...
