I slept in later than normal this morning so it was pretty warm when I got out (76).  Also, we had some storms blow through last night so it was still very windy.  I felt tired this morning.  This is my first full week of running in about 6 weeks so I think the cumlative fatigue was starting to get to me.  I just took it super easy.  I didn't feel like I had any energy at all.  I did have some tightening and a little pain in the hip but nothing bad.  I plan to take tomorrow off and will continue to stretch and massage it.  Hoping that I can build up the mileage more next week.  This week was certainly a step in the right direction.

Glad your hip is not hurting. I will keep praying for you. You'll be back in no time.

Great that you were able to get a full week of running. 41 miles is not bad at all.

Kory, thanks I appreciate it. How are you doing? I noticed you have been dealing with some injuries as well.

Mark, thanks. Just trying to take it a step at a time.
