Larry, Kent and I went to the THS track this morning. I think this was the first sub-freezing morning this fall. Between the cold, the extra clothing, the hip still being a little sore, and not running much the last couple of weeks my "speed work" wasn't much to brag about. I only ran 4 800's at 3:25, 3:31, 3:35, and 3:15. It felt good just to be running.

| I ran the 2000 N hill route with Wayne in the windy cold this morning. This was my first run with my new heel lifts in my left shoe. They add some weight to my left foot, but I didn't really notice it and overall they felt pretty comfortable on their maiden voyage. Time will tell the overall effect on my running, but so far so good. |

| I ran the water tank hills with Larry and Kent in the windy dark coldness this morning. I just took it easy and didn't push much. I ran 7:45-ish pace the last mile and that was as fast as it got today. I wore the new lifts again. No troubles. Felt comfortable.

| I ran the Cascade route with Larry, Wayne and Kent. The temperature was still around freezing, but there was very little wind this morning, not even any wind out of Provo Canyon. Very unusual. We only averaged about 9:30/mi. I've run 4 days in a row so far this week. My hip has still been a little sore, but it seems to be feeling better. It definitely is not feeling worse. The new lifts feel pretty good. I'm optimistic about them reducing, hopefully eliminating, the hip problem.

Larry, Wayne, Kent and I ran the route down to Wil's Pit Stop and back. I hate it when it I have to work so hard just to hold a 9:30-ish pace. A mile or so from the end Wayne and Kent had picked up the pace and pulled ahead. I decided I was tired of running slow. I locked into a steady rhythm and started closing the gap. When I crossed 800 E heading west on 1200 N I reset the lap on my watch and decided to see what sort of pace I could hold for the next half mile to 400 E. I caught Wayne and Kent shortly. As I went by, Wayne decided to come with me. I told him I was pushing until 400 E. He stuck with me and I was very surprised to see that we had averaged a 6:40/mi pace for the 1/2 mile. That's the fastest pace I've run since the St. George marathon and since I started using my new heel lifts. It felt pretty good. It's encouraging. It's also encouraging that I got in 5 days (32 miles) of running this week. My hip is still a little sore, but it is not getting worse when I run. Hopefully continuing to use the new lifts to even out my hips will allow me to continue to heal and prevent a repeat condition in the future.
