I ran after work today.  It was just an easy 6 miler.  75 degrees and beautiful here in GA.  I love this weather. 

I felt heavy and slow after eating a little too much over the weekend.  The good thing is that my left hip flexor is not twingy anymore.  It is a little stiff but much better after taking Sunday off.  7:27 ave. pace.

Ran after work again - it was 80 degress and totally beautifuil today.  I felt slow an stiff but I headed to the track for some 800 repeats.  Unfortunately when I got there, there was a kids track club there and I didn't want to weave through masses of teens and pre-teens.  So I decided to do a fartlek today.  I never have tried to do one, but I did 20 min total warmup and then 2 min fast followed by 3 min regular pace.  40 min of that and then 20 min home and I was done.  Plus I ran through a area of town I never run in - it kind of was nice for a change.  Lots of small to medium hills to get my heart pumping. 

10.75 at 7:17 pace average.

felt ok - snuck a few in between meetings.  Wanted to do a few after work but I have the kids.  

4.45 at 7:28 pace.  Nice day again today.

I didn't go for a tempo today.  I really wanted to do 10 but I didn't get out quite in time.  Beautiful day - mid 60's and sunny. 

Slowly but surely this hip flexor is getting better I think.  I hope I can get by without taking time off.  We'll see what happens.  It figures I strain it when I'm doing something other than running.  I guess that is how things usually happen. 

8.75 at 7:20 ave pace.

leg hurt on every stride so I shut it down and walked back after a mile.  I'm going to take a few days off to let this thing heal a bit.  I can't seem to have two good weeks in a row...
