     I went for an easy 6 miles this morning at 8:16 pace. I can't quite seem to shake this hip problem.  I would like to get my running mileage back up around 60 a week for 6 or 7 weeks before the Painters 1/2 mar. in January but I don't want to start building back up until my hip is at least improving. It's kind of an odd pain and I'm not sure if I even need to worry about it because it dosen't hurt when I run or walk but the days after I run I will get a sharp pain from making just the wrong move. It seems to be expecially bad after sitting a while. After a long ride in a car I will get a very sharp sudden pain when I go to get up. Stretching the area seems to make it worse. It feels better on my non running days. I'm cutting the mileage of my runs lower this week and if I see no improvement I may not run at all for a few days or a week.

PM    Ran 3 miles with my son at 10:08 pace.

Weird pains! I hope you are able to solve it soon. Still plenty of time before Painter's so better to rest now than get worse later.
