3.1 miles slow and easy. Mostly roads, though a bit was dirt/grass. I am progressing but my endurance has taken a big hit. The core strengthening workouts are helping.

5 morning trail miles in Cherokee Park in Louisville, KY. Hot and humid. I'm so slow, but it feels so good to be moving again. Had some right side lower back pain and hip stiffness in the afternoon.

Early morning 5k run. So far July mileage has surpassed May and June combined. I'm taking it slow and easy, but progressing so I feel pretty good. I hate meds that make me feel off-centered and I'm on one of those. I don't think I should run on the edge of a cliff for the next while.

3-1/2 miles. It was really hot but I got to see some fantastic Kentucky horse countryside. My hips are feeling tight, with annoying back pain. Hot and humid. I got a good sweat going, but that was before I even started running.

4 miles on the trails above Causey Reservoir. Great run in the woods before I helped out at Camp Browning where our troop's Boy Scouts were camping.

2 easy miles in the afternoon. Too hot. Late evening 4 miles on the canal road with my wife. The Chinese food for dinner was not happy with me running. Scratch Chinese for dinner on running days.

3.1 on the canal road with my wife. The back pain is mostly gone, still some tightness in my hips. Right leg muscle atrophy is a problem. Core training seems to be helping.

4 miles on the canal road with my wife. We pushed it a lot harder, it felt good to be running faster. Afterwards I did hill repeats in the neighborhood. My right leg is getting a bit stronger.
