Colchester Pond Road loop. First day back after 4 days off. My left hip flexor still hurts. I'm just going to take it very easy until my race next weekend. I've been looking forward to this half marathon since I had CECS surgery last November. I really don't want to skip it. It's been a frustating year of many minor aches and pains. I'm feeling pretty fit, but I think I need more cross training and scheduled rest to stay healthy. Every time I tried to bump my mileage above 50 and run 7 days/wk I ended up injured. I'm pretty sure I can make it through the successfully, but I'm scaling back my goals.
6.32 miles. 46:35. 7:22/mile. 1 mile @ 1/2 marathon race pace (6:18).
