Honolulu, HI:  Well I took 9 days off with my sore hip and during that time did stretching, strengthing but no running or even cross training.  It has been feeling good the last few days so thought I would give it a try today and see how things went.  I ran real easy down by the beach.  I felt good and for the most part didn't have any problems.  I went through a few stretches where it would tighten up but didn't have any pain.  My pain for getting back to running is to run every other day this week to ease back into and then hopefully resume full time running next week.  I am trying to take a long term view on this but it has been very tough not running and letting my fitness slip away.  Hopefully, I haven't lost much.  The main thing is just to be able to get back running without and pain/problem.

Jon, yes injuries stick. I have been lucky to run injury free for several years so this is something that I am not used to and taking a lot of patience.

KP, Hawaii was good but just very busy with super long days. Didn't get to do much.
