Long time no post

I know, I know.

You're probably asking, "What happened to Phil? Why wasn't he riding in all that hot weather he loves so much?"

In fact, even this is not a ride post. This is just an update to touch base, because I have not ridden in a while now.

Injured.

I'm not sure how it happened or when or exactly what caused it, but I have had a lingering groin pull injury that continues to really limit even my ability to walk comfortably to this day. It might be that muscle that crosses over the hip from the groin and runs down the thigh.

It's especially odd because it is on my left side, whereas all my issues in the past have been on the right side. My best guess here is that I was favoring the left and over-using it to compensate for a couple weeks after my back (piriformis) issue sprang up in late May...on the right side.

Whatever the cause, it sure is taking it's time getting better.

I am nowhere near thinking about riding like this. So I sit and try to rest it. Sometimes that's the best option on the table. Frustrating, but necessary.
