A cruelty of aging is that no activity is safe. I somehow injured my groin/hip last night… getting up out of a chair!?! I don’t even know how. Any leg motion in an arcing fashion, that is to say not directly forward, caused such pain that I was reduced to hobbling about. I despaired that my return to #running was over just as I’d begun to think a normalcy was settling in.
This morning, I woke to find the pain had almost entirely subsided. I think I’ll rest another day, but there is hope again.
