Ran in shorts and t-shirt again today in the afternoon! Who would have ever thought that one week before thanksgiving that would be happening, sure feels nice! My run today felt hard, about a 9/10 on a hard scale. I'm not sure why either. I felt like I did push myself, but the time didn't show it (DARN!!) One of the other problems was I got ssssooo thirsty! I don't know what is up with that, I almost cut it short just to get a drink. Maybe I'm a little behind on fluids and it's just showing up in the runs? My hip did start to hurt around the last mile, (darn again..) but not to bad and I'm icing everything down good following the runs and several times inbetween. I was thinking about when I ran consistently a few years ago and never had this problem, I was going to the gym regularly so maybe a little leg/hip work to increase the tone around that area would help out the hip? Definatley worth a try!

I got my maid back! Well it's really just me, but I got some good cleaning in today and I'm not going to quit till it feels like the place shines!!! That is after I work, sleep and then run tonight and tomorrow, then back to the scrubbing, sometimes that feels sooo nice!!

Great job! This is longer than you have run since before Hawaii, right?

Sorry your hip was hurting. I was really hoping your new shoes were going to fix everything. But it did feel good for 5 miles...that seems like an improvement!

Ya, no complaints here.. I still have faith that they will help along with some strengthening in that leg/hip flexor area. I think it may just take some time to settle down the inflamation that is already there? maybe? Who knows, I'll just keep running and hope for the best!

I've been really thirsty lately too. Usually at night. I definitely don't drink as much once it gets cooler. Good job on 6 though! When your maid gets done at your house could you send her my way? ;)

Can I borrow your maid too? Good job on the running AND house cleaning! I know you asked at the PT's words of wisdom and I keep forgetting to get back to you! Really its the same practical advice I've always heard. She believes in some super foods and showed me a good list- but then left it in my folder at the gym! So next time I go in I'm going to grab it bring it home. She also believe in food journals and drinking a gallon & 1/2 of water a day. She likes Elite protein shake mix, but thinks best nutrition is from whole foods, so if you do shakes- only 2 a day- max. Also eating mini meals, every few hrs. vs. 3 square meals. Besides being a PT, she also has a degree in nutrition so I think she really has a healthy approach. She had no real new news for me- but great reminders. I've benefitted from keeping a food journal for the last week and drinking more water. Sorry- nothing too new & exciting. When I bring the paperwork home, hopefully I'll have more ideas for both of us!
