I wasn't sure if I was going to make it out today. My hip started bothering me around midnight and I took some advil and went back to bed, so the debating had already started. I do not want to deal with any of the issues I have had all last year and I am being very cautious. When my alarm went off the internal debate raged for about 20 min and I decided I would head out for 4 easy miles. At 2.5 I decided to pick it up a little and ended up running mile 4 at 7:40 and then cooled down for 2 miles. Hip was okay, a little tight at 2 miles and so I stretched and it did okay for the rest. Except for the fast mile the rest was slow and sluggish. I have noticed that as I am picking back up miles, I am having to work a little more diligently about picking up the pace as well. Ave Pace 9:00 Happy Running!
