running for my mind

Took the day off. Spent about 45 minutes in the hot tub and really focused on my hips, left in particular. I was surprised that I felt better today than expected. I think the speedwork might have been a little too fast for my hip this week, but now it is feeling a lot better. I might take it easy this coming week depending on how it feels. 

8 easy. 

Hips and legs felt good. Hips were a little tight and ached a little near the end. Going to continue to focus on them this week. Going to take it day-by-day, but might hold off on speed work this week. 

10 - 7:11

4ish out and back on the parkways with a foxy loop to finish it off. 

Just ran and didn't bother looking at my watch. I am pleased how easy it felt and my hips didn't seem to tighten up so much. Just need to continue to maintain them. 

another easy 8 before another long day ahead including 2 depositions.

did anyone else see that a WSU student qualified for the olympic trials on sunday in houston? with a great time too! link here

Casual run through Holladay past Hille's house and about with Fritz and Evan. 

I am feeling good. I think it was smart to not do a workout yesterday and give myself a week off from speed. Next week marks 16 weeks until Ogden so I guess I better start to lay out a plan. 

Excel, here I come.

PM - PT and stretching session while watching a movie. 

Met Fritz and Dan at HHS and ran up through research park and back through the U. Decent amount of climbing with a little bit of icy trail that got the best of Dan's hand unfortunately. 

I think last night's PT and stretching was a good idea and I am going to try and toss that in a couple nights a week to loosen up and strengthen some areas.

17.5 - 7:23 - 701ft

Solid group for 5:30am. Met Daniel, Scott, and Evan at HHS and ran a 9 mile loop north into Millcreek. Picked up Brayden and ran an 8.5 mile loop down to Liberty and back. Kept it nice and easy and it felt good.
