After just a short run following significant rest, my hip flexor is still feeling the effects 3 days later. I'm honestly getting very frustrated and concerned that I won't have time to get into the shape required for such a challenging undertaking. Unless I get the hip all the way back to health, I think I'm only pushing myself further away from being ready. That means more rest, anti-inflammatories and ice. I'm confident in running the race distance, but combined with the altitude and climbs, we've really got to be ready. The lack of oxygen is the biggest obstacle and I'm not sure how to prepare for it, living near sea-level. Sitting out quality training time certainly doesn't help.
