7 miles Easy in 55:45 (7:58/mi, avg HR 153).

Nice and easy today.  Near freezing temps made the run slick at best and traction was an issue in several spots.  Road in sun == good.  Road in shade == bad.  

My piriformis stretching has evidently aggravated it, but not bad enough to terminate the run.  Despite some moderate discomfort early on, after a few miles things loosened up enough to fade to just minor.  I'll keep a close eye on things, but hope that a lower-mileage week and stretching will help resolve this issue. 

Brooks Trance - 324.5 miles.

Dale - I got rid of my left hip ache by knocking out the stretching for 3 days. If its aggravating it just stick with the icing and massage for a couple of days. Good restraint on your part sticking to the easy runs this week.
