AM - Red Mt. 30k this morning. Drove out with James and was planning on going out slow with Clyde for the first 5 miles and then go tempo for the rest, but that didn't happen. My GPS didn't record my mile splits so I don't have a breakdown. I just remember the first 2 miles being in the low 6's and then by mile 3 or 4 we were in the mid to high 5 min pace range. I was feeling good, except my legs and hips felt thrashed. By the time we hit Gunlock Res. My hips started locking up on me and every step was painful and Clyde started really pulling away. I kept him in my sight for about 3 miles and was just hurting so bad I decided to totally shut it down. I don't think my hips have ever hurt so bad. I was so glad to be done with this run. Kendra was nice enough to run the last mile with me - lucky her - she got an earfull of nagativity. Ran a little cool down and stretched. I'm really happy to be done with this week. I'm planning on spending some good time on these hips and get them working properly. |
