| | I went to bed and woke up sore and a little achy in the left hip from the 18. Thought I'd go to the Y and do an easy recovery run to shake out the pain. But I got there, a friend was shooting hoops, so I decided to warm up with that. Two and half hours later I was done playing, we ended up running full court four on four most of the time. And my legs feel great right now. So maybe that's my recovery plan. No "miles," but a pretty good workout for an off-day.

| | A little stiff after Sunday's hoops, I wouldn't describe my legs as heavy, but they weren't fresh either. Just a different pounding, I suppose. Did the Manette hills loop to grind uphill a bit, kept a pretty good pace throughout and even threw in Alder Street at the end for a little extra climbing punishment. 44:01 supernova glide -- 211

| | We had a little bonus practice for some of the Jaguars kids this afternoon. After an hour or so of drills and some sprints, this 9-year-old kid Keith wanted to keep running. And he wanted to know if we could have practice again tomorrow. This stuff keeps me going. How could I not be ready to get a run in after that? So I went to Illahee Preserve, had the woods to myself for awhile and wound my way around until I had done six miles or so. 43:00 supernova glide -- 217

| | Four hours of sleep before an early long run with Mike. And I have no one to blame but myself, because I suggested we bump it up to 16 on Beach Drive. (And I set the work schedule that put myself on the late Friday shift.)
Started in a bit of a mist, but it turned out to be a nice morning to run under some clouds. Not so nice on my legs, even at our 7:20 to 7:30 pace (which was perfect), I felt sluggish and sore. Not cramps or fatigue, but just worn down and beat up. Heavy legs, but more specific pain in my hips and right hamstring in particular. I suffered (though Mike cruised along, talked about how good he felt). But we made it. Then track practice, where I did no running. 2:02:26 A decent week, I'm getting back in a groove. Need to get my hips stretched out though, they have really started bothering me.
