4 ez miles on the mill. (I feel like I tweaked something in my hip-hurts a little to walk-but the pain doesn't really increase when I run-feel like I still need to take it somewhat ez this week so it doesn't turn into a major injury)BUmmer

Took the past 2 days off of running to see if my hip will get better-and it does feel better-but not completely. I attempted a little bit of speed today-Ran a good warm up-it hurt at the beginning of the warm up-but slowly seemed to feel better. (Didn't even notice it during speed-but felt it again afterwards...) Anyway, did 3x5 minutes with 2:30 jog in between... I ran these at the park on a 200 meter loop (somewhat of a hill on the loop with some sharp turns) Anyway, pace for the first 5 minutes was 6:15, (rest pace 7:53) 2nd was 6:35 pace-(way too slow) (8:20 rest pace) and last was 6:15 pace... I wanted to do 4-but was extremely hot and overheated-(It was already 83 degrees) and the kids were done playing...(I need to start workouts like this earlier)    

Ran 10 total... 4.3 outside at 7:40 pace, then 5.7 on tm at 7:40 pace. This run felt long, and I was tired... I am feeling out of shape as far as endurance goes...(and everything else for that matter:() I realized today I have been taking running far too easy the past couple months and now I am paying for it... (Hip pain was slightly noticeable-but didn't get any worse during my run)
