AM - 15.1 miles with Sasha at 6:30am. It was pretty warm (28'F). The fact that we consider 28'F warm is kind of sad but it was very close to shorts weather. Still having issues with the knee every once in awhile but nothing bad. However, my hips are still not right. They seem to really tighten up about 8 miles into a run regardless of pace. The hips start to feel tired and then the upper gluteus and lower back start to feel it. Sasha noticed that my right leg does not move as freely and smooth as my left leg and this makes sense as it is my right leg that feels like it is not getting any push off and it feels like the knee does not lift as much, almost like it is lagging behind. So I guess I need to find someone to take a look at this. Overall we ran a pretty good pace today as Sasha wanted to pick it up every once in awhile throughout the run. So we picked it up to about 5:45-6:00 pace off and on for a total of about 3 miles I guess. Overall 15.1 miles at 6:44 average and the last 13 miles in 6:34 average.

PM - 4 miles no watch with kids. James picked it up the last 1/2 mile so a little faster at the end.

I think a good chiropractor would help a lot with your hip issues. Likely, something is rotated. If the chiropractor is worth anything, he will give you some stretches to do as well that would reinforce the adjustments and help deal with muscle imbalances.
