5 and 6 mph on the treadmill - I definitely could have kept going but called it quits after the 3rd lap because I perceived the hip soreness getting slightly worse as I went.  I wouldn't say it hurts at all, just a dull soreness when running and after I'm done.  After my race a few weeks ago, there was actual pain that made me limp/hobble so this is better.  Still, seems ever so slightly better than Wednesday's run.  I'll give it total rest this weekend and play it by feel on Monday.
