20 days until vegas

Ok... back from vacation, and the hip is killing me. I admit it... it hurts. I don't know why. It hurts to walk. Interesting. I assume hip flexor, but one of the sports meds sites I was on says that hip flexor injuries are when you lift your knee to your chest and it hurts.... it doesn't feel like that. I'll keep icing and ibuprofering and follow the training schedule this week.

Saturday the 31st - I did 9.3 miles = that was good :)

Saturday the 7th - I did zip, but on Monday the 9th, I did do 4 miles in Mazatlan, in pain. (training schedule said 7 miles)

Saturday the 14th - zero - I was on a plane :) (training schedule said 10 miles)

Soooooo..... I'm starting A-NEW this week. And following the schedule, with one exception. On Saturday the 21st, I'll do 12 miles instead of the 8 it is called for. Once I have the 12 done, I'll be in good shape.

I wanted to get 10 or 12 in today, but the hip is not cooperating. I'll rest it for a few more days, and do what the training schedule says which is 45 minutes of a low intensity run.

Here's to staying healthy for TWENTY MORE DAYS !
