Just take time off.

Well it has been awhile since I have posted an entry. Here is what I have been up too. After my MRI was read. Everything was fine no torn cartilage. It just comes down to some inflammation of my fascia on the outside of the hip. I continued to run until about January and it seemed to get worse. So I decided to take some time off. And more and more....
Now it is almost February and I think that I have run about 3 or 4 times since January 1st ( just to test the waters).
I got a cortisone shot last week to get a handle on the inflammation. I think that it has worked. Reason being is that I can walk with out discomfort and am able to go out skiing a couple of times since the injection.
In addition to the cortisone, I have been strength training like a mad man, doing the hand bike and discovered a new sport (for me), winter mountain biking (when it is warm enough out). Also if I have to get on my road bike on a trainer in my basement one more time, I am going to freak.
