     Went 8 miles total today in the wind and rain that was sometimes changing to a wet snow. I ran 4 miles easy then did 4 miles of fartlek running 4 min fast, 3 min slow averaging around 6:15 on the faster parts. 7:35 ave pace overall.

     My hip seems to be doing pretty good this week although it is still a little sore when I first get out of bed.

     Ran 8 1/2 miles this morning at an easy 8:38 pace. My hip pain is mostly gone. Yesterdays 2 1/2 miles at faster pace didn't seem to affect it at all.

     After spending most of the day out on the tractor, I finally got out for a run late in the day. I was planning to go for around 13 miles. I felt sluggish without a lot of energy when I got started and it seemed like one of those days when even 7 or 8 miles was going to be tough. I had a couple of my earlier miles where my pace was getting close to 9 min and I just didn't feel like running any faster. After 5 miles I noticed it wasn't feeling like such a chore and my pace had picked up some without trying. As the run went on I kept feeling better and by the last 4 miles [which were mostly in the dark] I averaged around 7:45 pace without consciously pushing harder. It actually felt easy compared to the early miles and I didn't feel ready to quit at the end. 8:15 AP.
