Nice ski on the flats from Le Relais. Very hard so we stayed away from any major hills. A cold wind prevented us from doing more.

Tried a spin but after 20 minutes at an easy pace the adductors started shouting so I packed it in for a good stretch and soak.

Didn't sleep that well but hip ache was OK. Sore glute all day. Good stretch & strength session in the afternoon - now not so stiff but bagged.

Feeling good in the morning- slept well. Took it easy all day - massage in afternoon. Upper glute & periformis very sensitive afterwards. No aching even after an hour watching hockey game.

Evening ski and dinner at Huron. Only 10K but then I ate like I did 20! Hip feels fine when I stay in the classic tracks. Skating & herring-bone not so much!
Eerie feeling skiing back in the dark in a blinding snow storm. Balance was shaky, big flakes in the headlamp. Glad I wasn't alone. At gossip corner there was a sudden broad array of lights at different heights and intensities. It was a group of 30-40 Chelsea Nordic parents and kids heading up to the cabin. They had stopped to do a head count in the low visibility. Looked like a choir of lights from afar. Beautiful.

Bad sleep last night on back with legs raised. Decided to give the legs another day of rest. Good stretch this evening and the hip is calm.
At a movie this afternoon, after 60 minutes of sitting, I could barely sit still with the ache in my hip. Fortunately there was enough space to slink and squirm until the end.

Hip has been bugging me all day - off and on. Walk was not very comfortable.
Lots of stretching seemed to calm whole leg down but will need painkiller again to get to sleep. Sitting seems to fire up the leg every time.

Had a synovial fluid injection in the afternoon so I took it easy for the rest of the day. No aches until evening. Needed an Advil to get to sleep.
