It was warm (78) and humid this morning.  Just did an easy run this morning and my first back to back days since I took the break with my hip.  I felt pretty good today.  I had a couple of times where my hip tightened up but no pain.  Pretty much the same as it has been all week.  I have been doing more stretching than normal and need to do more strengthing exercises.  Just really want to get back to consistent running.  Hopefully, I am making progress toward that.

Glad to hear your hip is getting back to normal. I have been very behind on reading blogs and didn't realize you had been battling this problem. I've certainly been there, and with me it usually comes down to me neglecting my stretching and cross training. I hate stretching my hamstrings (ever since I was a little kid in gym class). Massage really helps a lot but that can get expensive to rely on it too much.

Good luck with your continued improvement!
