Since I will start some serious training for the Du I decided that I should probably see a doctor regarding the pain in my foot and hip. Today I went to my family physician and as usual, neither hurt so it was me just trying to explain what was going on and answering a lot of questions because when the pain isn't there it's hard to describe what was going on. After my doc did a few things to try to determine what was going on with my foot she decided that an x-ray should be done. Then she did some funky things pulling and pushing on my leg to figure my hip out...nothing. I did find out that I am extremely ticklish when someone is prodding in my hip area. She quit pretty quickly!
According to Dr. Jill I am more active than the average human being...which I find a little surprising, but I guess it makes sense. This spring was all about training for the 5K and this summer was all about not driving my car so much and bike commuting as much as possible....so yeah, more active. I REALLY miss all my summer activities - but I figure when March rolls around I'll be out on the road again either on foot or on my bike - so it's not that far away.
Until then I guess I better make my way over to Southwest and have some x-rays done. I'll start taking an anti-inflammatory to reduce some irritation...and MAYBE I'll get in to visit a podiatrist which is what I really wanted to do in the first place.
Did a short run this morning with Kevin & Kristan...we beat the rain!
