My Hip-Leg

Today's first visit to my PT was painful, but productive. Evidently I have pulled two out of three parts of my hip flexor. Ron, my PT did give me some hope. He thinks that the seven weeks between now and the Turkey Trot should be enough time to heal. However, he did not seem too enthused about my plan of completing my first indoor tri in December. He warned me that trying to go as far as I could in each 15 minute leg might cause a relapse. . . mentioned maybe taking it easy . . . we'll see if I can heal by then. On the up side, Ron did seem pretty positive about me completing the three races I have on my calendar for the rest of the year. I guess ice, high test aleve, muscle relaxers, stretching and maybe swimming, with mostly my arms, are what my near future holds. Boo Hiss!! I miss running! And biking!
