This really is quite the self-indulgent series of diary entries; but I like tracking the progress of injuries as it keeps me feeling like Im on the training "path" and helps me put things in perspective if/when I get laid off again down the line.
Today I woke up with a lot more mobility and less pain in my hip flexor. Pain of raising knee to chest is about a 1, discomfort in hopping on that leg is probably a 2-3. Tomorrow I'll give the elliptical a go, if there is no pain, and I expect to be able to gradually begin running in a few days time. I don't mind if its longer; Im just relieved that this seems to be just a muscle strain rather than a serious tear or something.
