I got early this morning and got it a short run.  It was warm (74) and had some light rain.  I felt good and ran easy.  The hip seemed to be ok.  I found a stretch last night that isolated the muscle that has been giving me problems.  That really seemed to help.  I am really hoping that this week I can get back to full time running.  I was able to pick up the pace today some as I ran and it felt good to run a little faster.

38:33 (7:43 avg)

Went for a 20 mile back ride later in the morning.  I still felt good and had a pretty good pace.  I am starting to feel like I am getting close to getting over this problem but I still some pain and need to keep up with the stretching, etc.

Jim, great to hear the hip is on the upswing. You've done a nice job staying patient.

Jim I'm getting deep massages done and that seems to help. Of course doing the hip stretches recommended for the muscle and sciatic nerve.

Nice run. I hope and pray your healed. I'm not yet.
