Things are a bit better today. Still icing ever 4 hours or so for 15 minutes and taking ibuprofen. I think it is indeed the hip flexor, it is better but still sore to a firm touch. For some reason my hip flexors appear to be prone to being crankyZoom-Zoom was right about the dangers of over-striding! I just took a gentle walk with no real problems, even jogged a couple of steps to test it and was fine so I don't think any real damage has been done as long as I treat it properly now.
What is really frustrating is that it is in the 70s outside today! Yes, you read right - overcast, cool and temps in the 70s after weeks and weeks of very high temps. I really want to ride...though would likely catch a chill after riding in 100 degree temps just the other day! This would have been a perfect long ride day... 75 degrees right now, forecasts of 90 tomorrow and 96 Sunday.
