4 mile warm up.   5 x 5 min at zone 3.  I started at 8.0. First min. Then 8.1 next two then 8.2. Then 8.3 for last.   Repeated pattern starting at 8.1 for next five min.  Then 8.2.  Then 8.3 set I increased every min to 8.7 with last little bit at 9 mph.    Three min jog in between each  at 6.7 mph.   Then Jane still had one more and Kim left so I did another.   Kind of creepy with social distance TMS at vasa.  First time there since March shut down. Taped off every other one.  Ran last one at 8.4/8.5/8.5/8.6/8.7/8.8 till 5 min. I always went over to 5:20 as tm started at zero miles per hour and took long to get up to speed.  Cool down mile 8:40.

Pain better but not completely.  No run.   Seems like a left lower back disk issue radiating to just above hip bone radiating to inner thigh.

30 min.  3.6 miles.   Toning it down to three miles a day or thirty minutes.  Easy day. Hip and rib cage on left still in nerve pain.  Think it was strong window cleaner allergy at Vikings car wash.
