The battleground.
The reason: I'm hoping to take a trip up to Laconia, NH this summer to visit the American Classic Arcade Museum. As it stands, I am not able to sit comfortably in a car for the length of time it would take to get up there, never mind actually drive that length. So, if the trip is going to happen (which would probably be a couple days, to give the pain time to subside after ride/driving that far), I need to build up hip strength and stamina.
Unofficially, it started early this morning, when I did a walk in my neighborhood. It was pretty painful for a couple reasons (one, hard concrete, and two, I live on a street that has a pretty good incline, which really exacerbates the pain and causes some shakiness going downhill). I thought about Captain Tom and his garden, and realized that the yard would be easier on me, as it is flatter, softer ground, and if I DO need to stop suddenly, I'm close to home.
