I ran the reverse 2000 N hill route with Larry, Kent, Wayne, and (a little late coming) Kevin. I felt pretty strong, especially pushing up the big 2000 N hill near the end. I tried to pick up the pace just a little on the downhill to work on my foot speed a little, but my body didn't like it too much, mostly my right heel and right hip.
I can't seem to shake the pain in my heel and my hip. My left knee is also still bothering me a little, but it's bothered me most of my life and it doesn't have me too concerned. I tried playing tennis with my family on Monday. My hip was pretty stiff, and whenever I tried to change direction quickly from right to left my right heel hurt pretty badly. I still managed to beat my two young adult sons, but I it hurt so much I decided not to run the next morning. I was in a 4-man best ball company golf tournament early Wednesday morning so I didn't run that morning either. I play golf and tennis about once a year whether I need to or not, and it shows. I used to do both more regularly, so there is some muscle memory, but I'm mostly not so good...but I have fun.
