Buttsweat Towel© season has begun

The doctor visit went about like you would think - he did a few tests and concluded it was the hip flexor and didn't want to do any imaging on it, then wrote a rx for aleve or something like it and told me to not run for a few weeks.  He seemed sure, but I will keep the sfx possibility in my mind, especially since the article I read said that FNSFs are misdiagnosed as hip flexor problems all the time, but you need an MRI to tell.  I'm not ready to run yet anyway but I'll be taking no less than another week off, probably more.  My plan is to wait until I can't feel it anymore while walking, then test it jogging on the treadmill a little at a time.  I don't want to go backwards if it is a sfx.  He also suggested physical therapy at the wellness center for exercises but I think the elliptical is taking care of that just fine.

Swam a mile (1600m) today in ~27 minutes, so a little better.  I did a progressive effort for the last 300m or so.  Then 2 x 50m sprints in 38 and 37.  I wish the pool was yards since that's what I remember from HS.  I can recall doing 50yd sprint repeats from the wall consistently in 26 each back in the day which would be about 29 seconds in meters.  So that's how slow I've gotten.  Oh well, the pool is closed all next week anyway, then hopefully I'm close to being able to run a little.
