Ran the feilds/ Dc loop. I've started to like this little loop and even when I feel totally jacked I can get through it on basically muscle memory. As was the case today. Left the house and my calves were super sore from running a little harder yesterday and wearing low profile shoes. But my hip horrible. First 3-4 miles were in the 8:30 min mile range and I constantly debated on turning around or not. But it was early and in the dark so no one could see how crappy I must have looked. Finally got to the park in Washington at mile 6, had my second potty stop and from there tried to get something going down the river trail to the DC. Nothing super fast but did get a little better turnover and managed the pain better. The last 6 miles from the DC home were pretty rough but doable. 7:18 avg
