My uncle, who's a chiopractor (whom I lovingly address as Quack-O-Practer) did pound and dangle my S1-5 region back into place and pronounced Bursitis of the Hip, a result of repetative motion and compression of S-4&5.  This explains why sitting in the car, sleeping on my side, and sitting on a hard chair continues to hurts me even though I can walk.  He also says I made a big mistake alternating the heat with the ice the days before the race.  I should have stuck with the ICE only.  He also insisted on an X-Ray to rule out stress fracture--since every woman in my family has suffered a broken hip by the age of 65 (which explains why I'm terrified of my own hips all the time).  So now I'm waiting on a referral to Dr. Skow (?) Given my long history of rotating inflamation-itis of every tendon and ligament a body can contain, this is probably inflamation of a Bursus Sac-- which would also explain why my leg won't turn right and feels like it has a wad of nervy tissue keeping my leg out of its socket.

I walked.  I walked 2 miles.  Has it only been 3 days since I ran last?  The highly anticipated  marathon catharsis left me wholly unsatisifed.  While I'm at peace over making a healthy decision regarding my performance,  I need to find a plan b really soon.  I can't ride my bike, for the same reason I can't run and I think I might go crazy soon.  All that energy, for so many months, pointedly focused in one direction (26.2). Now it's just hanging around causing trouble.  Maybe I'm seriously going to have to consider swimming, or homicide.  Hmmm. Tough choice.  I think I'll pick swimming.

X-ray and MRI on Monday and Physical Therapy at Rock Mendenhall's Sport's Medicine Center.  I look forward to learning stuff.  Wish me luck.
