Finally figured out the source of the hip pain I've had this year - too tight hip rotator muscles. Perfectly explainable on someone who is either sitting down all the time or hiking 20km, really. Tried a pigeon pose today, and I'm far worse at it on the bad hip, but it's also dropped my pain levels from 2-3 to maybe 0.25 in one attempt. I'm going to be far less worried about future treks now, and might actually get back on the wall if work stops being so crazy...
Also, I hiked a bit last weekend - very mild and friendly mountains, but we got some pretty cool weather - blizzard, a bit of frozen rain, the occasional sudden sunniness. Posted a couple of pictures on my journal https://seasonoftowers.dreamwidth.org/18247.html
