I didn't run on Saturday as my hip was really hurting, so I took Saturday off and of course yesterday. This afternoon I did an easy 2.5 over to the Hurricane Athletic Club and used my free one time coupon to check out the place. I lifted weights for about 25 minutes (mainly worked on my legs) and then rode a stationary bike for another 20 minutes. I liked the place, but I think I'm too cheap to pay the monthly fee, I'm still going to check out a few places in St. George. My chiropractor said I really need to strengthen my ankle and legs muscles, which would help ease some of the stress I've been putting on my hips. Anyway, I did an easy 2.5 miles back home (7:50 ave) So, a decent start to the week.

Boring 5 miles around La Verkin, then over the bridge and then back home. Colder tonight than it has been. Had a pretty stressful day at school, so it was nice to get a short break and go for a run.

Took today off which I think I'm going to have to do more often or cross training to try to let this hip heal up. 

Basketball this morning. It was nice only 11 showed up, so I got to play for almost an hour, no sitting or slowing down. I'm planning on coming over and running with the club tonight at 5:00 right?

Good 7 miles tonight with the club out on Snow Canyon Parkway. Not too many there tonight ran the first 3.5 miles with Dave which was nice to chat with him. The last 3.5 I did by myself. Average was 7:35, not bad with about a mile left I missed the step up onto the curb and pulled my groin and leg a little, hopefully not too serious. Still struggling with the hip issue, but will continue to train when I can and feel like it, and rest on the other days.

8.5 miles this morning with some of the guys from the running club. Ran part of the Painter's course. It was pretty cold this morning, but I survived. I was happy with the first 7 miles 7:28 average, then an easy 1.5 back to the car. Not too much hip pain this afternoon, which has been nice.
