4 glorious miles at around 8:30.... Im beginning to feel like myself again! No pain in my hip, though my adductors/groin are still a little sore from strength work a week ago! Ran Riverside Park then up the Hudson River trail. Beautiful weather; no wind, sunny about 45 degrees.

Still have about 4 weeks of this recovery schedule to go, and mostly running every second day. Its tough to limit yourself when it feels so good, but Im so glad Im following the schedule, because my druthers would be to go out and do way too much too soon!

Was meant to run yesterday, but hip felt a bit off and again today. Ugh, I wish this was one of those "you've waited the allotted time, now you're completely healed!" things. I dont even know if those things actually exist. But in my head, a bone, once healed, is healed, right? I know there is a lot of scar tissue and muscular weakness that can occur with SFx and reactions... so Im not really concerned that I've reinjured. Just sick of having to be careful and just want to go outside and RUN!!

Nope. 60 mins elliptical instead.

I was too pouty to even do the core work I had planned. :(

a.m. Easy miles around 8:40-50 pace.

p.m. 30 mins elliptical, 7 x 2 min hard, 1 easy.

Core strength: 3 x plank to pushup (20), bike crunches (20), swiss ball passovers (feet to hands)(15), hanging leg raises (15) and weighted side bends with 20lb kettle bell (20 each side)

I wasnt experiencing any pain while hopping or running, though I am "aware" of the injury site while running. It wouldnt even reach "discomfort" or register on the pain scale.

Afterwards, (and probably tomorrow) will feel some discomfort. I've read that as long as you're not starting the run with discomfort, its fine. Have final follow-up doc appt tomorrow, so hopefully I'll get the thumbs up!
