I played softball Sunday night and I guess it was more of a workout than I thought. Sprints around the bases and in the outfield didn't exhaust me or anything, but yesterday my hamstrings were like rocks. I didn't have a chance to run Monday, but today I spent 3 miles and a lot of stretching just trying to work out the tightness and soreness. Just a different kind of running in softball, I guess. Probably not ready to race anyone in a 200 right now, but I'll loosen up after a few more miles this week. Now the question is whether I can start writing down my Sunday softball on the blog as mileage.

My hamstrings loosened up today, but I have a really sore hip. No IT band threat, just some strange muscle soreness right on the hip. Did one of my usual routes backwards; Warren Ave. bridge to Manette.

Took it easy then hit a serious hill and worked up a good heartrate before burning home at a good clip. My hip is still inexplicably sore, but not so much as before. Hamstring is a-ok.
On beautiful evenings like this everything feels pretty smooth anyway.
