Today was the last day of the hunt and when my alarm woke me up early the wind was whipping and rain was pelting the windows hard so I didn't go out. Before seeing the doc yesterday I had pretty well decided the marathon wasn't going to happen but we decided since we had rooms and time off we would go down anyway for a short vacation. We had been wanting to do the Zion Narrows and this is supposed to be a good time of year for that as well as some other hikes in the park. After talking to the ortho I have a little hope of still attempting the marathon. I started on the meds yesterday afternoon and ran 3 miles this morning and felt pretty good. I'll have to see what the next couple of days bring.
PM Went for 15 miles on the mountain bike just before dark. Felt good to just get out and go for an hour instead of my runs latley that only last about 16 minutes. I think the next 2 days I'm not going to do any more running biking or hiking just popping lots of meds and hoping to get my hip flexor as rested as possible.
