I forgot my workout clothes today so couldn't go to the gym at work.  So when I got home I went ahead and did a TM run - a full 2 miles this time in about 19 min.  Toward the end I had a weird urge to just go 10mph as long as I could to make my lungs burn and feel some pain.  I resisted...  The run felt ok - about like yesterday, with my hip feeling better after a mile or so.  Then I remembered that that's sort of how it was when this injury started, except the pain was stabbing before and just dull/sore now.  That made me a bit nervous so I'll bike or swim Friday, take the weekend off, and my hip will have 3 full days off before I start up again.

You're being smart. Good job on the miles and the diminishing pain!

Joe, smart running today. The picture of your daughters probably launches you into first place on this blog. Very, very cute.
