I just lost my whole entry so I will have to give you the shortened version. Hip was really sore but after about a mile it loosened up nicely. I ran out to GU corner and threw in some strides, I had some faster miles in there that I will count as marathon pace miles and they went as follows;

Mile 3- 8:04 (146) with 4 strides.

Mile 4- 8:30 (141) with 2 strides and then I took it pretty easy.

Mile 6- 8:12(146) on this one I did a half mile tempo.

Finished up with my lower body weight training on the Bowflex and then did some core training on the rubber ball and added in some push-ups at the end. All in All I am happy with the run this morning, I hope tomorrow goes just as well. The E-Stem machine seemed to help my hip loosen up quicker so I will continue to use that every night to see if continues to help it heal.

See ya tomorrow.

Well, make sure you do that machine every night from now until the marathon. Do what works and make it a habit every day. Glad to hear the hip is loosening up as you get into the run. Just don't do anything to push it beyond it's limits. Only about 5 weeks to go until the big show!
