6 miles in 8:15 pace Stopped to stretch twice to loosen the hip. Trying my best to listen to what the hip is telling me. Seems to be agreeable at a slow pace. Doesn't get more aggravated as long as I keep the pace above 8 min/mile. In fact I think the hip felt about 1.6% better today compared to yesterday. Last week I couldn't find my ipod for a few days. Then as I was folding laundry I felt something clumpy in the pocket of a jersey I had run in at the gym. Ipods don't really like being washed and dried with laundry. Its dead now. I know I could buy a $10 ipod replica from China on Ebay but I am actually really enjoying the peace and quiet of my runs lately. I hear enough noise all day from my kids. Its kinda nice to just listen to birds chirping and my own breathing and heart beating. Leaves me in a very peaceful mood. Our forecast says we'll be in the 50s for a few days this week. Time to get the kids out to the park and go on bike rides in the sunshine! |
