It was a beautiful morning today.  It was warm (74) but didn't seem very humid and a light breeze.  I had planned on running yesterday but it was storming in the morning and I thought I would wait and run outside later but got really busy with work and the day got away from me.  Anyway, today was pretty much the same as the the couple of weeks.  I have been babying my hip but doesn't seem to be getting much better but luckily not getting any worse.  I am not sure what it is going to take to get over this thing.  It is not causing me pain but always tightens up a couple of times during a run and I am just afraid to kick it back into normal training because it might get worse.  Not sure what to do at this point.  I guess I will continue to get into normal running routine and see what happens.

Sorry about the hip, hope it gets better. Mine is still "there" as well, not to the point of hurting I just notice it a lot...I guess it is a sign that we are getting old...bring on the scooters! LOL

Seriously, I hope you can figure it out and have it start feeling right soon.

I sure have been feeling old lately. I have had pretty good stretch without any injuries and it is not any fun. Sorry to hear that you are having problems as well. I hope to be on the mend and trying to get back to normal training soon.
