I ran for Utah State University for a few years from 1999-2002. I got a little burned out and took a break from running. Now 10 years later, I feel that there is still faster running left to accomplish. I started running again in mid-summer of 2012. I had a short spurt in 2009, but work got in the way.

Well I was not supper happy with my time, but it could have been worse. Since I have not done any speed work since the last week in December when I strained my L hip flexor. I also didn't have any competition. All the real fast guys were in the 5 mile race.
During the first mile I was running with this guy and thought that I would have someone help push the pace. We hit the first mile in 5:20. Perfect. Then he dropped way back. Then my hip started to hurt. Now that there was nobody around my I decided to slow down a bit and hip pain subsided. Mile 2 was 5:41 and I was at least a min. ahead of everyone else. Sine my hip was feeling pretty good at this pace, I just coasted the next mile 5:44.
This gives me an idea where my injury is at, where my fitness is, and where I go from here. I am glad that I eased off the pace. My hip is really sore right now, and I didn't want to do more damage. I think that I can start adding more speed into my workouts, mabe not 5:20 pace, but some tempo work at 5:45 will help.
