Easy miles around 8:30 pace. One of those times when my hip didnt feel 100% and I was hesitant to run. Decided to anyway (wouldnt usually, but my doctor said running in a little discomfort was fine). It went away, and I kept the run short and easy just in case. Frustrating, but hey, at least I was able to get out there.

Hip felt fine (or the same) after the run, so I guess I made the right choice.

Trail miles along the beach cliffs in the Mornington Peninsula. Photos to come. It was gorgeous. Welcome home to Australia :)

(around 8:30 avg pace; running uphill in sand is no joke!)

Felt a bit naughty running this far since my injury! But I felt good, and the following day (as Im writing) am not in any hip pain. General muscle tightness in the hip flexor/quad which went away after a quick foam roll.

I feel like here is where I could fall into the trap of doing too much; after my hip no longer hurts, and the temptation to just go nuts on the miles is great. Must... hold... back... :)
