On the road to BOSTON!

5.40 miles- after the first mile warmup I averaged 7:37 pace. Hip felt ok, not great, same with the hammy. Hoping to get out again in the morning.

The hip has been very sore since before my long rn on Saturday. Took it easy till this afternoon and decided to go out and give it a nice easy effort. It was a bit windy but nothing bad and the left leg was about 75%......I wanted to get some running in to get the blood circulating and promote some accelerated healing.

AM: Considered taking another day off running- looks too nice out so I went. Sore hip so I went out slow and gradually built the speed up. Easy 5.40 miles @ 8:25 pace. To dixie Center and back...easy non-stop

AM:Great recovery run this morning- I went out and ran 10 miles without any breaks.. just churned out the miles. I did a progression run beginning with a 8:48 warmup mile then gradually brought the pace down to 7:55- I wanted to just keep my legs moving and help aide in the healing of my left hip and hammy. I am feeling that it is about 85-90% now and will not push any speed for another few days. (8:09 average pace)

8 1/2 miles in the bank- 7:56 average pace Tried out a new pair of Altra- Olympus.....I need a few more runs to give my opinion on them.

23.25 miles in the bank this morning.....8:17 average pace, It felt good to get this run out of the way. My feet are still a challenge with the long run....stupid morton neuromas! Oh well, I choose to do this running thing...LOL have a great day!
