PT - .75 mile run for a gait analysis.  Right hip has a hip drop.  Need to strengthen my abductor.  

Swim with Shelby.  Learned how to kick.  I had to stop and get a breather after every lap.  My shoulders are so sore!

Major panic moment with my hip.  It was aching SO badly.  "If I can't run, I'm not doing anything."  

Big adjustment at work on the hip.

Hip actually felt really great on my run.  I think lifting before help warm it up.  During PT afterwards, we lifted a lot too.  Felt really good today.
