Clyde's Comeback!

Planned rest day. I got about 3 hours of sleep the night before LoToJa and about 2 hours the night after. I'm just trashed. With the kids and lots to do there was no time for a nap but not running, biking, ect helped.

1 mile on the treadmill to test the hip.

10.2 miles around the DC loop.

Hip felt tight again but not crazy painful like after last Monday's run. I decided to take it outside and try it today. Ran in rain the whole lap. Temps and rain felt great. Hip hurt and got worse the longer I was out. I've got 3 weeks to find some running mojo or I might have to bag it... and that would be sad.
 

Big boys run. Met here at my house with the guys at 4:45. It was raining the entire run. I did the warm up with them out into the fields. Then they did the summer tempo loop. I came back they way we had come and then went down river road to Mr. D's over through St. James and back up to River Road. Then ran down to the river and was right on time meeting back up with the guys who had just finished the tempo out around the fields. We jogged back home. Again it was a downpour. I can't ever remember this much rain in the summer months. Hip hurt about like yesterday but once I finished it hurt worse. I'm past sick of it.

Middle B-hills loop then secret steet and extended around Little Valley. Hip was a little better than the last couple days. Anything is better than nothing so I'm happy. Cut it a little short so I can try and do another run this afternoon.

P.M. 6 miles on the treadmill. I got the boys down for a nap and somehow managed to get in this run before Halen woke back up.

DC loop. 65 F and cool this morning... but humid. Still felt pretty nice out. Hip felt better than it has in two weeks. Tried not to over stride it and kept the pace slow as to not aggrivate anything. Even if it's only for today it felt good to run without crazy pain.

4 more miles this afternoon on the treadmill. Lots of hip PT stuff after.

Long run this morning. Did the summer tempo loop extended down around the DC (added one mile there) then back on the DC loop through B-hills and around the schools. Pretty good run. Hip felt better than it has in weeks. Never tried to run hard, rather just kept it super smooth to try and not bring on any pain. Cool and humid again. Feels like Boston and not St. George. Took a GU at mile 13. 6:56 avg for the run.
