Shipo: I have been about a week now with only stiffness and that only after sitting for "too long". I am going to try some walking this weekend. If that goes OK for a week or two then it's back to C25K. and I really miss it. I guess sedentary really isn't my style...
Horses: it's not whether you will get hurt it's when and how badly. and they don't usually mean to injure you they just have all that strength and muscle mass managed by a brain the size of an apple. Hopefully your hip will heal soon. I have some lovely memories of falling and horses landing on top of me so count your blessings
