My hip has been virtually pain free for three days in a row now. I think it's just about ready to go. Still working on the knee, but it's been much better over the last week or so. I'm stoked to be on the verge of getting back on the road.
I also got a business card from one of the folks at work for a guy who does running coaching. I need to contact him and have him do a gait analysis to see how much of the original injury stems from my running form (I'm pretty sure I overstride) and how much was due to the wrong shoe. The third component was overuse - I ran, and ran only, for the better part of three years. This allowed the muscles to get out of balance in my leg which cascaded to the other problems. I'll keep strength training and biking in the mix going forward to avoid creating that problem again.
