Masters USATF Cross Country National Championships 8k in St. Louis, MO!
Maybe a marathon in 2013?
Long-Term Running Goals:
Enjoy running and racing at whatever level I am able to. Possibly run another marathon post Microfracture Surgery in under 3:00.
Personal:
I'm in the Army. I am married with four children (20/17/13/8 years old). Trying to return to previous running form after having microfracture knee surgery in July 2008.
6 easy miles around 7-7:15 pace overall around BYU campus with cadets. Left hip really hurts for some reason. Hopefully just a glitch from saturday. Wanting to try and get at least 45 miles this week.
8 miles this AM with first 4 at 7:30 pace and then next 4 miles with 1 min at 5:30 pace and 1 min easy for the whole 4 miles. Averaged 6:30 pace for the 4 miles. Bad news is that since Monday my left hip has been hurting and today it hurt the entire run and I was hurting all day long. Really bad pain especially after sitting for awhile and then getting up to walk. Not sure what it is but not happy about it.
Did not run today as the left hip is still killing me. It hurts with every step and is the worst after sitting for awhile and then getting up. Looks like I will need to take a couple days off and see how things progress. So I start blogging again and I get injured, not what I was hoping for.
Took another day off as hip still hurt to jog on it and a little walking. However, it felt alot better today than yesterday so it is on the mend hopefully.
