Newtone - 6.25 miles in 51:44 (8:17 pace)n + 2 miles walking for gym commute. Hip was creaky this morning, but not painful. It gets better as the day goes on. Barely noticeable while running.

I asked my parents and my Dad does not have the same condition. Apparently the wear and tear on his body was enough that before 60 he had them both done (which makes me wish I were 20 lbs lighter than I am). I do recall one other hip issue in high school though, but that could have been the hip flexor issue it was diagnosed as. Who knows.

Onward and upward.

I'm sure many folks have seen this, but I tried to send a link to my students this morning and I mistakenly sent Dibaba's masteful race from IAAF Moscow 2013: How many kicks do you see?

Dibaba is a master of shifting gears. That was an impressive race.

TD! that is one of my favorite clips -- beautiful running.

i am glad you got some answers and a better idea of what to do going forward. i'm also glad you can run and that you aren't just completely out of the game for x weeks.

Thanks, Allie. Felt good to be able to run for 50 minutes or so after two weeks off. I've lost all kinds of fitness, of course, but the idea is not to start from zero. If I have to run 4 times a week on the treadmill for the next several weeks, that's what I'mma gunna do.
