I did 40 minutes on the elliptical and then I headed for the treadmill for 21 minutes and I was only able to log 2 miles in 21 minutes, pretty pathetic I know but thats all my hip would let me do, very slow and easy! I then finished up with some upper body weight training on the BowFlex and some push-ups... My hip did feel better today than it did yesterday, I really iced it down good last night before I went to bed and it seemed to help, so I'm hoping that next week I can get back out on the road for a few miles and try it out and see where I'm at... Well thats about it, I will see you tomorrow.

Glad to hear the hip felt a little better. Nothing wrong or pathetic about slow easy miles. Just take what your body will give you and give it a chance to heal.

Clay, hope you get better. It is always tough to decide, cross train or run. Runners gotta run, know the mental pain. Hang in there.
