Ok, feeling sorry for myself fest about hip dealie numero 2 is officially over. Begin hip trashing fest so I know surgery is the best option. Three miles on the TM followed by 20 minutes on the elliptical. Yippy!

Strangely quiet on the BST this morning. 5 miles on the TRAILS and it felt amazing!!! Mellowed out with restorative yoga after.

Broke trail all the way to Big Water this morning on the Nordics. Holy wiped! That was a pretty nice way to celebrate the anniversary of my stupid hip surgery. Some days I feel like I am worse off than before the surgery and then there are weeks like this one where I feel hopeful and almost normal.

Problem is my hip joint is too lax now (a side effect of the surgery, which I think may have even been a problem before the surgery too) and I've been told that it won't get any better without additional surgery. Part of me wants to jump right in and get healing, but the other part of me just wants to deal. I ran 11 miles this week and skied 9 today with very little discomfort so all I know at this moment is that there is no way in he!! I am going through with the surgery this week. I want to enjoy the snow, the holidays, and just see what happens.

Surgery still doesn't guarantee anything and who knows, what if it does get better on its own and I am able to ski the Birkie and run the Red Hot and the Buffalo Run. I would be so stoked!!!

3 miles on the TM and then some running in circles in the snow with Andrea followed by pool "running." I think that is my new running surfaces record for one day.

Super lovely, fluffy ski up Millcreek to Big Water. Poles no longer hitting asphalt so that is nice. Topped out a whole 14.2 mph on the downhill. My classics are crazy fast :) Nordic skiing is the shizzle!

So much for vowing to make it to the gym every morning before work this week. Hit snooze for an hour and a half and then rode the home bike for 5 minutes before sprinting a block to the bus stop. 

PM: 3.5 on the TM, 20 min on the elliptical, and abs & glutes. Feeling good.

Bike and quality foam roller time. Feeling very optimistic about the hip lately. Dunno what it is, maybe the lovely weather! 

PM: Wandered around downtown to finish my Christmas shopping for at least 2 shopping miles. I love how the moment I write how optimistic I feel about the hip I get a call from my hip doc's office. So I was going to do this fancy imaging study to try and determine if my hip problem is in fact coming from the laxity issue versus just psoas issues. I had since convinced myself that it is all psoas and will magically get better and I won't need surgery. Well turns out doc decided the best thing for me to do is an arthroscopic "exam." He thinks that would be the most effective way to figure out what is going on and then if he finds something he will go ahead and fix it. He is going to see me tomorrow morning to talk things through :(

Hip surgery scheduled for February 1.

I quit.

Will return to blog when I can run. Perhaps in my next lifetime.

Lovely ski up Mill Creek on Christmas morning. Feel pretty blessed that I live in such a beautiful place and get to do things like this on Christmas day!

It is official, I am allergic to the gym. This is the third time I got the serious itchies/hives at the gym. I don't know if it is the cleaning stuff they use on the machines or if I am in fact allergic to running or what. This time was certainly the worst so I now have Benadryl stashed in my glove box and gym bag. Weird. I am seriously the queen of weird exercise-related things! Anyone else have exercise-related allergy issues?

Was going to head out for a ski with my Aunt this afternoon in Wisconsin, but my ski boots, warm winter clothes, and Christmas presents are all on their way to Manchester. I am still really hoping they meant New Hampshire instead of England :(
