Ouch!
The return to training is derailed by a very tight and achey lower back and right hip flexor. I'm pretty sure spending a lot of time Sat. eve and Sunday on my feet, then sacking out Sunday night because I'd had zero sleep the past couple of nights, is what did it. I woke up Monday with so much pain and tightness, I couldn't stand up straight. That I had cramps too, didn't help. It's a tad better today, but it still hurts.
And I've got a nasty rash under my left armpit -- I think caused by new deodorant, but I've stopped using it, relying on lots of washing and powder. Today its stinging like crazy, and I can't get into the derm for 2 more weeks.
At least I haven't been hungry for a couple of days.
I'm telling you, turning 40 has *not* been a piece of cake.

Ouch is right - my hip flexors bug me a lot too if I do any amount of running. I don't know if it will work for you, but I have really good with the Frog Pose and with the King Pigeon pose - they get in to stretch just the right spot, and the bonus is you're laying on the ground to do it : )
Oooooooooh, ow.
Stretch stretch stretch, and hang in there :)
Have you got anti-inflams?
Take care
baby steps.....remember that.
you will get excited -- rightly so--at your "comeback"...but baby steps...ease into it and it will last.
BTW: There is a tri Sept 30th at Buzzards Bay. Max perfoirmace. I am considering it -- I am guessing it is the last local tri of the season???? I woudl need to face my fear of (potential) jelly fish. Not sure yet, as it's the weekend right after RTB, but maybe.
See you at the beach this Sunday morning!
