AM - 6 miles solo - cooler temps which was nice.  Bilateral hip soreness - so I switched to the Kinvaras in case the Zoom Fly's were the cause - but it did not help, and actually made the rest of the legs feel more fatigued plus slower pace.

AM - 5.5 miles starting from Wood Rd and doing the out and back on Summit and Brittle - solo.   Wore the Zooms today.   The hip discomfort may have been nutritional-related inflammation.  Cut out what I had been eating for several days, and the achiness/soreness is all but gone.

AM - 5.75 miles on the Nix Rd route - adding the new subdivision Blakely Estates at the beginning.  More elevation, smooth steady pace.

AM - 9 miles with Darryl from Summit Hill - with a little variation at the start.  Quite warm and humid - but the easier pace made it more tolerable.
