This morning I ran 6.5 miles at 8:30 pace. My hip felt good running other than a slight soreness the first 1/4 mile. I felt real good and was tempted to go farther and faster but resisted the urge. I wanted a little more workout so I went on a 15 mile mt bike ride.

This morning it was 17 degrees. A bit chilly after the last 2 nice mornings in the 40s. I ran 8 miles at 8:22 pace. My hip is feeling better. It really doesn't hurt much when I run but afterward it is a bit sore doing some simple moves like getting out of the car. As long as it continues improving I think I'll keep running easy every other day and biking in between.

This morning I went 30.5 miles on the mountain bike. The temp started at 18 deg but warmed to a nice sunny 43.

Ran a relaxed 10 miles this morning at 8:33 pace. 24 deg. and calm. As of last weekend I had gained 5 lbs in the 2 weeks since the marathon. I hadn't been eating more overall but probably a bit more junk in combination with the reduced mileage. This week I have increased the training time back up a bit and I've dropped a couple lbs back off already.

Ran 1 mile out to get the newspaper this morning. Was going to do some more later but never got the chance. My hip still isn't 100% so the extra break might be good anyway.
