morning - 4 Lower Grapevine. It was beyond weird to go 4 miles for the first run of the week. Hip felt a little better with just minor twinges. (Precision, ran in these for the first time in a long time. I thought I might try a different shoe brand to mix things up a little, but they are so worn out, they felt just like my other worn out shoes.) evening - 16 DC - Big Workout #15. 4 Warm up/8 Tinman/4 Cool. Got pretty wet as the clouds unleashed, but I was more worried about not getting struck by lightning. The frogs didn't worry, however, and were out in force. Hip took forever to warm up and kind of gave me grief throughout. I used the foam roller when I finished and really tried to work out the kinks. Splits will be on the same miles as 2 weeks ago, except we started 1 mile earlier today (so mile 2 this week was mile 1 last time - last time in parenthesis). 1-5:48; 2-5:54(6:04); 3-5:57(6:00); 4-6:00(5:56); 5-5:54(5:54); 6-6:01(5:59); 7-5:57(5:51); 8-5:58(5:55). So times were pretty much right in with last time. Last time I was tired from Bryce; this time I just wasn't quite on my game, but I still was right at the 6:00/pace where I needed to be.
