Horrible day at work yesterday, Horrible sleep last night. Pretty great run this morning. Did 3 miles on the treadmill in about 22 minutes and then when it started getting light I went out to the Boardwalk, realized the Boardwalk is lit the entire way so running on the treadmill waiting for the sun is pointless. Seems like I have recovered really well, no hip pain at all, Here is the plan, in 2 weeks from today I start a 12 week program for St. George, for the next 2 weeks the plan is to just get some slow base miles in and try not to worry about my painfully slow pace (Yet). I will try to get between 45 and 50 miles this week and maybe 50 - 55 next. Turns out my cross training worked, I still remember how to run, but my legs are really muscle sore. I'm amazed I can go out and run 9.5 miles pretty easily though. In the park there were a few rowdy hooligans thinking it was pretty fun to harass the runners and jog along side them makes snide comments, I noticed them running with another runner up ahead, when I got to them one of them put out his thumb like a hitch hiker, I told him "come on, lets go" and took off at a good sub 6:00 pace, dropped him in about 25 meters :) I'm glad I still have some kick, now I just need to hold that pace. The bikinis models were out again today, hey, it's not my fault if they are right along my running route. Jeez, don't judge me.
