My hip continues to improve bit by minuscule bit. I'm no longer expecting any miraculously pain free run to happen anytime soon. More likely, I will realize, 3 days or a week or 2 months from now, that my hip doesn't really hurt anymore.
I watched the womens' Trials online this morning, and what struck me more than anything else was the picture of Deena Kastor and Magdalena Lewy-Boulet standing together on the finish line, welcoming Blake Russell to the team. Sentimental fool, tha's me.

Sounds like, slow as it may be, healing is happening. I'd say just stay patient, but I know you have that race to do. I'll keep my fingers crossed that doesn't set you back! But you can always get back to slow and steady after it's over with.
