Rebuilding after an injury

I've run 4.35 miles this week. This is a HUGE improvement as I haven't been able to run since Gecko. My hip is still injured, but I'm learning to run with it. I got better, then the pain returned. I'm meeting with a personal trainer on Monday to strengthen up the area to help rebuild the area. I'm 45 1/2 weeks out from the OKC Memorial Marathon. I'm less than 5 months away from my first 1/2 marathon. I need to rebuild, get stronger, get faster. I want to run pain free again. I don't know how long it will take me to get back to my 9 mile long run, but I hope soon. I think I'm going to try and race again on the 4th of July. I will update more later!
