9 days away...

and my damn hip has flared again. Lisa says it is inflammation and will go down with rest. I ran 3.5 miles today and have 0 miles planned for tomorrow. At this point, I'm ready to start focusing on the trip instead of worrying about running with pain. It is about a 5 out of 10, but I can feel it when I run, walk, and sit. One Advil knocks it out for a few hours, and it has been suggested that I do a little Advil treatment for a day or so to encourage the inflammation to go down.

After the marathon, I'm taking some time with absolutely no running and will build back up the strength in my legs to be more balanced. GRRRR!!!
