Wanted to post a quick update to say that I have been cleared to run again starting today.
My doctor and I took a quick look at some fascinating xray and MRI images and determined (well really he determined, but I feel good about it) that I have a extra bump on the side of my left hip bone that has slowly rubbed its way through the labral cartilage in my hip joint. The bump is called an impingement (or FAI...which stands for something...). It results from the fusion of growth plates and has nothing to do with my weight or misuse of my body (so suck it Dr. Curtis...who told me, and I quote, "You know Tim, most people lose the weight first and then run a marathon.")
The easy, but temporary, fix was to get a steroid shot directly in the joint, which I did on Tuesday.
Now comes the fun part...catching up on 2 weeks of missed training. Wish me luck.
