| 40 mins swimming. I think I might have barely gotten my heart rate up into the 120s-130s.
Tomorrow (Tuesday) I get to see my sports doctor, finally! I'm really excited to get underway with a recovery plan, even if it involves a ton of rest. Hip feels better today. Again, still a ways from running on it, (and I darent try the hop test)... but I'm now not feeling anything when I walk.
Today I also changed over from Philly full to half. I'm really sad, because I wanted to run a "big city" marathon before I left the US. Been here 5 years, and will be returning home to Aus in December. Anyway, I think if I am up and running this month sometime, I may be able to pull out a PR at Philly in the half; or else just jog it for fun.
So thats that. No more marathoning in 2013.

| MRI yesterday and I have an appt to go over results with Doctor tomorrow. . Doctor wanted to check for a femoral neck stress fracture. The bad news is that he said he was hopeful but "not optimistic" that it wasnt a SFx.
I asked over the phone if it was a stress fracture, and whether I should not be walking on it. They wouldn't tell me on the phone... arrghhhh! Haha, Im so impatient. But she did say, per the doctor, I can walk on it, and the doctor needed to go over the results and treatment plan with me. She said it sounds like its something that could turn into something bad... rather than it being that bad right now.
Im *hoping* this means its more like a stress reaction or something, that has a lot-shorter recovery time. In any case, I just want an answer so I can adjust my expectations, and can get on with trying to turn my lemons into lemonade!

| Results are in. I have a femoral neck stress reaction. Precursor to a stress fracture. I was right to stay off it, as these things easily go from bad (4 more weeks no running) to terrible (5 months no running).
As it is I can walk, no crutches (which would've been HORRIBLE in NYC). I can do any cardio/weights that dont cause pain.
I am also having a bone density test to ensure my diet and/or my 10 years of on/off smoking are the culprits. Yes, yes, I was a smoker [ducks for cover].
So all in all, this is much better than I originally expected. A little bit sucky to miss Philadelphia marathon, but I can definitely plan for a real Spring marathon in 2014, rather than a spring marathon of the real Housewives of New Jersey + chocolate.
XT plan starts tomorrow. Yippee!

| Pool running, 1 hour. 10 mins easy, 5x1 min hard/1 min easy, then 15 mins of 2 mins hard, 1 min easy, cool down.
Hard to get my heart rate up. I suspect there is some joint/muscle inflammation going on because driving my thigh up in the water hurt in my hip. Its definitely not the best XT at this point for me.
