After playing soccer with my boys last night my legs were tired this morning so I cut my long run at 11 miles. As I was arriving back home Doone was heading out for a walk so I went with her for a few mile walk.  Then I went and played 18 holes of golf with my boys. 
I'm giving myself 15 miles for the day after all that.

I tweaked my right hip flexor Thursday night playing soccer with my boys. I thought about running this morning but it was still sore, maybe tomorrow.

2 mile walk during lunch.  My hip was still sore even walking.  Worse though, I woke up with severe upper back pain and it hurts to keep my head up straight.

Hip and back felt a lot better but I was very lethargic.

A few very slow miles with Jordan my associate doc who wants to get back in shape then some soccer with my boys for a couple hours. I'll call it 5 for the day. My back and hip both feel pretty good today.

I felt tired when I left the house but thought I would shake it off as I got going. After a really slow first mile, I couldn't even run slow anymore, so I walked the 2nd mile and then I jog-walked my way back home for my worst 4 mile run ever. Then I went home and showered and sat down on the couch. The next thing I know, I'm waking up and I have been asleep for 2 hours.  I didn't ever feel sick, but I sure was exhausted.

I cautiously went out for a short run after yesterday's fail, but I felt back to normal and ran a solid 3 miles.

3 quick miles before work. 80 degrees feels pretty brisk after having run in the heat the night before.
