run another marathon

I went to the doctor on Monday and to the PT this morning.
Doctor says no running for three weeks and the PT says four
to six weeks, twice a week. Tendinitis where some of the
large muscles connect to the hip. I will be stretching for
a few weeks and then strengthening after that. I have always
found it very hard to get enthusiastic about stretching, but I
will do what I must.

It would be my sixth. I have run Marine Corps, New York City,
London, Disney World, and Grandmas. Plus the JFK 50-miler.
But I haven’t done any of that since three years ago (JFK).
I have spent a lot of that time battling Plantar Fasciitis and
now that that appears to be licked, I have a nagging pain in my
left hip, probably just tweaked a muscle, but it won’t go away.
Well, I am off to the doctor on Monday (11/27) to see about the
hip and there is still plenty of time to get my mileage back.

Wish me luck!
