Running in the Rockies

Well, I've had 3 PT appointments now, and she says my hip is "behaving" so I can try to run on it - short and easy, though. So, hopefully tomorrow I can get back out there before my body gets used to the lazy life it's been living. I had such great hopes to get out on the bike or the elliptical during this time of recovery, but apparently only running is motivation enough for me these days. Lazy habits are hard to kick!

My first trial run after physical therapy - 2 miles on the treadmill. My tailbone didn't hurt at all. I was aware of my right hip socket, but it wasn't what I would call painful at all. Yea!!!! I'm happy to be running again!! I'm going to see the PT a few more times, and keep my mileage low for a few weeks.

It's amazing how quickly my body was willing to let go of a good habit. The first 4 days, I was literally itching to run, but then ... sitting around was feeling pretty easy.
