Cortisone injection into the hip socket.  As soon as the doctor was done, he asked if it felt better.  Ummm....nope.  That didn't gvie me a lot of hope.

I met with the PT later that afternoon.  I was feeling a bit defeated.  All these doctor/PT visits are taking up a lot of time.  Is it all worth it?

I really liked Joel.  He had a lot of good suggestions and wanted me to start running.  Yeah!  Hope it is all worth it.

3 very slow, watchless miles outside.  Whoa....I'm out of shape!  And feeling fat!  It was awesome to work hard and get sweaty.  It will come back.

4 miles outside -watchless - nice and cool outside!

My hip felt pretty good, but I could feel my hamstring really pulling.  I know it is compensation from the hip.  Ugh.

I was suppose to run the Ogden marathon today, but sold my bib.  I was feeling a bit sad today.  But it was definitely the right choice to not run.  Come on body....work with me!
