Clyde's Comeback!

Finally got out for a run. The first 2 miles were nasty as the hip was just screaming in pain. I was only planning on doing 6 or so but as I got to 4 things kind of loosened up and I felt good enough to take it around the DC loop instead. So the run started crappy but ended pretty good. Still way tight in the hip and the dang knee... not sure what it's deal is but I was able to run today and that was a blessing. 

Busy day with the home project. I knew I wouldn't be able to run. Got a lot done. It's really close now!

10.2 miles with the guys around the DC loop. Nice to finally get the circle together after a long hiatus. Felt way better than the last few weeks. Was able to run and not just suffer in pain the whole time. 

10.2 miles with Misty. I had about an hour and a half between runs so got some oatmeal and hydrated then went and worked on the garage. Misty showed up and we looped around Stone Cliff into the bottom of St. James, then back through B-hills and home the long way in Little Valley. She rocked it! 1:40 or 9:51 pace. We left the  house planning on only doing 8.5 or so but 7 miles into it she was still chatty and I said she felt good so told here she could get her first 10 mile run in. Did it and stayed strong all the way to the finish. It was awesome.

21.8 mph avg for the 36 mile airport/ sunriver loop. I had it up to 22 at around mile 30 but crossing River Road and traffic slowed the pace on the last 4 or so miles. Still my fastest ride avg ever. Kept the hammer down most of the ride and couldn't have gone much faster alone. But I didn't have my areo helmet on and that is supposed to make me 1-2 mph faster? So nonetheless a solid ride. Got the final inspection done on the home addition project too. So all done with the city crap and almost all done period. 

Maybe the worst run of my life. Worst run hip related for sure. The first 4 were pretty good too. Ran the Stone Cliff loop that I ran with Misty on Weds. By mile 5 my hip started to tighten up and by 8 I was suffering. Got home and stopped running only to find I couldn't walk. Super painful and even more frustrating. Maybe due to the hard ride yesterday? IDK should have stretched out good last night but got too busy with projects. 

Another big day working on the house. I got up early and worked all day into the night on projects... just didn't do any workouts. Felt bad about it but there wasn't time or energy at the end... just bed time.
