Oh my achin' hips

 Ugh, unfortunately I have been diagnosed with arthritis in both hips.  I'm not surprised as my hips have been bothering me for years.  So my triathlon career is questionable at this point.  I've been doing a lot of P90x - strength and yoga

 and swimming.  I am still biking some and running a little too.

My hair colorist was nice enough to braid my hair since I've been swimming so much.  I wish I could do it myself, but never learned (I had short hair for most of my child hood and teen age years)
