AM - Big Workout #8 4/3/2/1 miles MP - 16 treadmill.  Another early morning.  Molly's Mile then treadmill for the rest.  Warmed up with 4 in Five Fingers then switched to Old Ohanas for the workout.  5:33 pace for first 3 sets then 5:30 pace on the last mile - 2 min recovery.  The pace is feeling right on, not hard but working it good.  The workout just gets tough at the end because of the first two sets are so long.  Absolutely no hip pain this morning; now if that can just translate to the afternoon too - then I know things are getting a lot better.  We are closing it on it!  (Old Ohana -14)(Five Fingers 72.6)

afternoon - 2 DI.  Just hit the cooldown with the boys.  No hip pain!  (Cumulus white 729.85)

AM - 9 DI/2xAC/laps.  A pretty good morning.  A little twinge in the hip this morning, but not much at all.  Runs are feeling pretty good right now.  (Landreth blue 63.7)

afternoon 10 grass/River Trail.  Ran 3.5 on the grass barefoot, including 8xbarefoot striders.  A little bit of an ache until I got warmed up (obviously the day after a hard workout really sees the hip acting up).  Then down to the trail to run with the girls on their AT run.  (barefoot '09 151.15)(Stratus black 456.65)

AM - 12 Mall/ACx2/laps.  A good solid run; like most lately.  Pain in left hip has subsided for now, hopefully nothing this afternoon.  Really enjoying running right now.  (Triumph 250.30)

afternoon - 7 Fields.  Ran out in th efields with the boys.  Heat is still hanging on.  Hip was as good in the afternoon as it has been.  (Landreth orange 430.7)

AM - Big Workout #7 6xmile LT - 16 Buena Vista/Treadmill.  Warmed up with the 5 mile Buena Vista loop.  Then hit 2 TM on the treadmill.  Had a little trouble getting into those and it worried me for the workout, but once I finally got focused it was fine.  First 4 miles were at 5:27, with the final two at 5:24.  Pace was strong and a little tiring, but not hideous and that makes me feel good.  Jogged for 1 /2 minutes between each for recovery.  Again, hip felt solid (I know I am not out of the woods with it yet, so it still scares me a little).  (Cumulus gold 447.3)(Old Ohanas -11)

afternoon - 5 Washington.  Ran into Washington and hit Sandberg's Pond with the boys.  (Free 22.5)

AM - 23.5 SGM course.  Had a good group run down the course from the starting line.  Kept it pretty easy and relaxed most of the run and just enjoyed the cooler weather.  Then pushed the last 4-5 miles through the twist.  That actually felt better getting the legs moving than the slugging along with tight and sore legs.  Hip felt really good still.  (Stratus grey 292.6)

evening - 2 Provo River Trail.  Just a short shake-out of the legs once we got to the hotel.  (Landreth black 726.85)

AM - 10 Provo Canyon.  Ran with Greg and Logan from the hotel up into the canyon a little.  Hip felt really good.  Glad I didn't have to run long or push today, though.  (Landreth black 736.85)

Not a bad week at all.  Felt some real progress on the hip and hit two tough workouts feeling pretty strong.

Goals for next week:  As always, the major one is to make it through it.  Just one tougher workout this week and then I would like to run the course one last time on Saturday and try a 10 (or so) mile time trial.  Also, keep progressing on the hip.
