4.5 easy miles around the greenbelt, taken a couple off days to get the hips to loosen up --hot tub-- stretching and more stretching, hips were much better today and am going to work up the miles slowly as the week goes on, but not to much.

7.50 miles  country roads oround our house, a very nice evening to run, my left hip was tight for the first mile but worked out and things were fine after that.  9:30 a mile pace and it was an up hill down hill run.

At the start of the run, my hips were tight again but by 1.50 miles they had loosen up and were fin after that. Just need to take it easy if they are not feeling so well and i still should be ok for the COT marathon.  Set an appt. for next Thurs. with an Orthopedic to just get looked at and to make sure things will be alright.

Progressive run around the Greenbelt,  9:30-9:20-9:10-9:00-8:50-8:40 and the last .50 miles at a 10:00.  Hips was a little tight but worked out in the first 1/2 mile, a good run for me as i needed a good one as i have been i a slump lately with all this tightness in my legs and hips. Had to cut back on the two runs a day and focus on more stretching.

4 miles in 36:10,  nothing long today but a very nice run  on a beutiful day. Long run tommorow morning
