Went to see the Sports Med doctor today.  Aside from identifying tight hamstrings and weak hip flexors, no definitive diagnosis to my adductor pain, although he did pinpoint the source as the tendon attachment to the pelvis.  Due to the nature, I'm headed for some Xrays and an MRI as soon as the insurance and scheduling get sorted out.  In the meantime, I was cleared to run easy miles/pace if pain-free, which when I tried I was not.

Instead, I did 60 minutes on the recumbant stationary bike, 19.55 miles, fat burner level 1.  Both outer hamstrings were pretty tired at the end, especially on the left leg.  Followed with some core exercises (avoiding the painful ones) and more stretching.

Diagnosis:  Osteitis Pubis.  

Time to fix:  Estimated at 6-9 months.

Ugh.  Well, on the good side, at least I've got a pretty definitive diagnosis, although there is still an outside chance its a hernia.  Evidently this is one of those injuries that are usually chronic in nature and take a highly variable amount of time to heal from.  Fortunately(?), it looks like the cause is biomechanical issues that can probably be corrected with the proper Physical Therapy program and I'm already on the books for my first PT session tomorrow with a PT that treats athletes in general and runners in particular. 

Okay, so I'm opening a 24 hour window (until noon tomorrow at my first PT appointment) where I'm going to allow myself to feel sorry for myself, then that's it.  After that, I'll devote my energies to something useful like recovery.

20.14 recumbent cycling miles in 60 minutes, Endurance Level 1.  Core workout level 1 step 3.

The good news is that the pain has subsided quite a bit, my hamstring flexibility has already improved, and my core strength is getting better as I progress thru the Core programs.  The bad news is that the weather has been so nice and I'm stuck inside on the stationary bike wishing I could be out running.  It's hard enough when it was painful to run, but not getting out in this weather when I feel like I could is akin to bamboo shoots under the fingernails.
