| PM - did the equivalent of 7.5 miles on the elliptical at the gym. The left hip flexor issue was becoming too frustrating to run - and when I tried cycling a couple weeks ago - it was just as aggravating to the issue as running. I think the elliptical may be a solution. No pain whilst I was using it. Wore a HRM to make sure I was getting the right cardio effort. Other than really not liking the machine - I am hoping this works for a while as I allow the injury a break to heal.

| Brought everything with me but shorts to workout on a business trip to Minneapolis. Discovery of the inadvertantly missing shorts was not until I got up in the morning to head to the fitness center in the hotel.

| PM - 40 mins on the elliptical and 20 mins on the stairmaster - wearing the HRM - giving the rough equivalent of that effort for miles in running. ( I don't much like the stairmaster either Rob)

| PM - 6 elliptical equivalent miles today at lunchtime. Had less time in my schedule today for a workout. This cross training is really not aggravating the injury at all. In fact, I have really no discomfort at all right now. Gonna give it another 10 days or so, and gradually reintroduce running as tolerated. Also doing a good number of leg strengthening exercises.

| AM - 4 miles of walking this morning in Gainesville today. In town for Freshmen Preview for Delaney who starts at UF in June. The hotel had one elliptical which was occupied - so I decided to go out for a walk. Tried to walk vigorously, which then seemed to aggravate my hip flexor, so I backed off and kept it to a normal walking effort. Felt a little achy there all day.

| AM - so I decided to do a test run today. Coverded about 2 miles and really only a very vague trace of discomfort in the left hip. In fact really did not feel anything unless I tried bounding or stretching out my stride a little. Couple hours after the run - I could tell that I had tested the hip - so I think maybe a little more time off may allow a complete healing.
