16 miles, 7:32 avg. I felt a little worn out and didn't push the pace. My right hip was complaining a bit, I'll have to keep an eye on that.

AM - 3 x 1 cruise miles w/ 1:00 rests @ threshold pace. Since it's very early in the training cycle I opted to not shoot for a set pace, but to run by feel. 

5:34, 5:41, 5:40

A little on the slow side, but that's okay. Conditions were 82F/80F dew point. That's the highest humidity I've seen so far this summer.

Finished with 2 x 35s sprints.

My right hip is continuing to give me problems at slower paces. On my warmup it seemed like it wanted to seize. I'm continuing to work on it, but it might cause me some problems if I can't get a handle on it.
