What happened to your hip??

[velvet_c]

Between running and strength training and not stretching enough, I have a really tight spasming hip flexor (and associated muscles). I got a massage last Thursday and I've been doing ice and soaks and such, but no running until the physical therapist assessment.

The Army run is two weeks away? How time flies!

I'm glad you're taking care of your hip. Aggravated injuries are no fun!

Yes, my dear, and you've been married almost 2 months now. :)

My circumstances have not allowed me to truly take care of my hip, which would involve no walking or carrying things (certainly no dancing!), ice, soaks in the tub, and real rest.

I think I'm looking for a miracle from the DO tomorrow....
