I took this week off to rest my sore hip and to focus on my daughter's wedding on Thursday. The wedding was awesome...what a great couple of young people!

Larry, Wayne, Kent and I ran the canal road again this morning. Like last Saturday, my hip was pretty sore for most of the run. We bumped into Rich and Steve(?) along the road and Wayne and I pulled a little ahead and ran with them for a while. Running at a faster pace seems to be easier on my hip than a slower pace. Wayne and I ran about 8:00/mi pace the last 3 or 4 miles and averaged 8:41/mi overall.
