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.

Ug. Scary stuff. Not meaning to be preachy or anything, but how is your diet? Feel better soon and heal fast... Valentine's gift for Mrs. Dale: Garden of Eating by Matesz. http://www.thegardenofeatingdiet.com/

Well, the diet certainly isn't perfect, but has improved over the years. We've taken the gradual improvement approach so its sustainable. Must be doing something right, because all my cholesterol numbers were in the proper ranges for the first time in years last month.

MRI & Xrays are today with the follow up Tuesday, so hopefully I'll find on definitively then. This waiting is the hard part.
