     Went for a nice 12 mile run this morning up past the reservoir. The temps were nice and there wasn't any wind when I ran [it's very windy now]. The ice was completely gone as of last Saturday and the loons that show up every spring are back. I love hearing there calls on a quiet morning. I kept a comfortable pace for most of the run then ran the last 3 miles at around 7:10-7:15 which I counted as MP. 7:45 Overall pace.

     The past 4 mornings I have woken up with my right hip sore.  It has gone away once I start running but was much more sore yesterday morning. Once I got a couple of miles into yesterdays run it completely went away. It was just as sore this morning so I decided I wouldn't run and rode my mt bike instead. It has always been my left hip that has given me trouble in the past so this is a first. I went 20 miles on the bike. It was a nice morning.

     My hip was still sore this morning but quite a bit better than the last two mornings. I decided to take off at least one more day and maybe tomorrow depending on how it feels in the morning. I went for another bumpy 20 miles on the mountain bike.

     My hip pain was much lower this morning so I decided to try a short easy run. I felt very little pain during and after the run but the last 2 times I ran it felt fine until that evening when it started to hurt and then was quite painful by morning.I guess I'll have to wait and see how it goes this time. 5 miles @ 8:24 AP.

     I saw a huge golden eagle soaring right over me close this morning. We get a lot of bald eagles here in the winter. We even see them perched in the trees by our house some times but I don't see golden eagles very often.

     We made a day trip up to Craters of the Moon National Park today. I got out early and ran 5 miles before we left. My hip was a little sore when I got up again but seems to be a little better each day. It felt pretty good during the run and hopefully I will be able to get back to normal training next week. Crates of the Moon was fun but was covered with a lot more snow than we expected We had a good time anyway and got in some hiking.
