I ran after work today and it was warm (73) and super windy. This is my second day back after taking off some for a sore hip. I started off easy again to get the hip good and loose before picking it up. I felt really good today and the running came easy. I just let myself fall into a natural pace and didn't try to force again. My hip felt great with no problems so hopefully that is behind me (no pun intended). I ran a route that tired to minimize the running into the wind and kept it mostly as a cross wind. It has been a long time since I have had an injury so I want to be careful and make sure this doesn't come back but the rest of me is ready to start pushing the training. I will try to stay conservative this week and if everything goes well I will kick it up next week. By the way, I think the problem with my hip was tight hamstrings. I talked to a PT and they suggested that I stretch the hamstrings really well because they could be pulling on the muscles around my hip causing the problem. When I started stretching them over the weekend they were really tight and that is something that I haven't been doing regularly. 53:25 (7:38 avg)
