Life is to be enjoyed, not just endured

7 easy miles in the morning with Saskia and a pit stop at the 7-11.

I met Annette at her place for some speed work.  We warmed up for two miles and then did the following:

.2 on/.35 recovery x 2 ( had to make a pit stop - again)

.4 on/ .15 recovery x 4

.2 on

1 mile recovery

On's were at 7:10 - 7:20

This was the hardest workout I have had for quit sometime.  It was great, but I felt it in my hip once I was done.   Lot's of stretching & scraping.

Avg Pace 8:20

6 absolutely great miles in Omaha.   I ran into Iowa twice - kind of fun to run in two states during a run.   I explored a park that went along the river, across a great bridge and by the College World Series ballpark.   I had planned on super easy effort and the effort felt super easy, but I was shocked  by my pace - 8:33 for the entire run.   The 20 degree temp difference probably helped out a little.   

recover day = early travel day

Met Annette at 5:30 to run.  We started slow and were progressing and then picked up her friend Lori for a few miles and then finished on our own.   Not to bad, but my hip was less than happy.   Lots of stretching tonight and I scheduled an appointment with a sports med doc.   I want to address this as soon as possible and I need to start finding someone here in Texas for when I have issues.
