Day 190: where am I?

I've tried to minimize my running over the past three weeks to see if my thigh improved. I also tried doing some new stretches, along with my new self-diagnosis that I have an iliopsoas strain. I don't know how to pronounce it, but the symptoms seem to fit very well. Unfortunately, the rest and stretching haven't worked, so I am going to see a doctor.

I've done a few short (3-4 mile) runs over the past few weeks at 8-9 minute miles, and I've done a few 25 mile bike rides as well. But without the thigh flexor muscles working properly, the 5 minute mile will be out of reach. So my first priority has to be to get it fixed. Let's hope the doc will give me the magic bullet.
