     There was a youth only duck hunting day today so my son and I got up at 3:30 am in the rain to drive down to the marshes down by Ogden. We had to walk about 2 miles in  to where we wanted to be carrying a heavy pack load of decoys. He got in some good shooting and had a lot of fun. 

     I finally got out for a run after dark. It was a nice cool 50 deg. I ran 10 miles at 8:10 pace. Felt pretty good. Hip soreness was very slight. I was hoping to get in more miles this week but hopefully all the hiking will make up for some of the missed running miles. Bowhunting season is just at a bad time when trying to train for a fall marathon.

All the hunting is worth taking a little break in your running (especially with your son). You probably need this break anyway to continue to let the hip heal (said from experinece!!). How old is your son?
