Wasn't sure I would even get out today, but sure glad that I did. Run felt really good. It was rather cool, hands and arms got pretty cold, but I think that the cooler temp. helped with everthing feeling so smooth. I did 3.87 by myself and then picked up Callzee for one mile and then did another little by myself. Came home feeling energized instead of dead like the the last couple of runs, this did alot for the mental end of my running which was definatly needed! I've also decided that I would start adding some strengh training for the hip flexors and legs, that may help with the hip by increasing the muscle and tone to decrease movement and irritation there. Can't say it will help but I'm willing to give it a try!

Just trying to tease you about the mistake you made on my blog..it's Sarah. You have been doing some good mileage. Im sorry you've felt tired after your runs. That is hard on me too...I start wondering why I'm torturing myself or something negative like that. Usually though I feel that I can find a balance so my runs do energize me and I can continue to feel positive about them

Michelle, be careful with the hip flexor exercises, they can be difficult to excercise. I was off 2 months with a pulled hip flexor a few years ago.

Interesting reading your comments and Sarah, mental part of running is more difficult at times than the physical.

Keep up the consisent training, good work.

I am glad you enjoyed your run today.

I do hope your hip feels better! I think the hip exercise are a good idea, but like Brent said- be careful. Nice job running through it anyway.
