AM - 3 miles easy with Finn and Riley after a long 4 day weekend of travel with no running.  Was concerned about the hip abductor issue from last week, and figured with two days of driving for 12 hours on Thursday and Sunday - and family reunion activities from morning until night the other days, it was going to be hard to get any running in anyway - so I figured I may benefit from some rest on the legs.  Not sure it helped.

 

PM - 4 miles at lunchtime.  It is weird - the hip feels fine - (maybe a twinge or two but only slight) when I am running.  So I am not aware of causing any injury or insult to it during the activity.  I am just stiff and sore/tight after being sedentary for  period of time afterwards.
