In The Long Run

Usual 5 mile Liberty Park run.  Legs feel good, it's time to get back to the grind.  I'd like to get up to 50+ miles per week this summer.  

Restore Yoga in the evening.  Lots of hip openers.  

Also enjoyed brunch at Ruth's with my hubby.  Such a gorgeous day.   

PM: TRX class.  Even more torturous planks today.

This also turned into an unplanned day off of running.  I woke up with a weird pain in my right hip/glute.  I'm not sure exactly what it is or what I did, but I'm guessing that I did it in yoga yesterday.  I tried jogging a little and it hurt to push off.  Since I don't have any big goal races any time soon, I decided to rest it.  

Lunch time spin class.  Wanted to get some cardio done just in case my hip/glute thing prevents me from running tonight.  This was a great class and I pushed pretty hard because it did not bother my hip/glute at all.  It actually feels a little better now so I will attempt an easy run later.  

PM: Gotta love when your planned 5.5 miles run turns into 8 :) Ran from my house to meet up with the SLCTC group run at Liberty Park. For some reason thought this run started at 5:30, so I left a little after 5 to head to the park. I was almost there when I realized that it actually started at 6pm. So I added a few loops of the park and ended up with a little bit longer run than intended. No hip pain when running, so I think that was just a fluke thing. It does hurt if I push on it really hard, so I'm just not going to push on it!  It was a little too warm for me tonight.  Don't know how I'm going to survive running at the beach next week.

TRX class.  The torturous planks are slowly getting easier :) Went for a run after class and it was not a good run.  I was tired, overheating, and my head was pounding (no coffee today). Did my usual Liberty Park run, but actually had to stop and walk a few times. Ugh.  On the bright side, vacation starts tomorrow!

Usual Liberty Park run before a long day of travel.

Nice morning run on the beach in South Padre. Very humid but a nice ocean breeze kept it bearable. Followed by chocolate covered strawberries and an amazing breakfast.
