Discovery to Evergreen with a rewind on the recovery.  41 degrees!!!!  I hardly slept last night due to my anxiety/frustration over running/should I just call it.  I decided to try this morning and see how the hip and hamstring felt.  This was a hard workout, but I did hit the paces - level 10 effort though??? 
 

Post run lift.  I need to be lifting 3 days/week.  Hopefully this will solve some of my problems.

American Heritage Track - 28 degree with a little wind

TBT class before workout - in hopes to get everything firing before workout.  Aerobic-wise, these felt good.  I could have gone faster (I already went too fast).  Hip was OK, but feels great post run???

Short lift before run

AF Canyon -  3 miles before the group arrived (out back on N County).  8 miles down canyon.  2 miles out/back on N County).

50 degrees.  A huge winter storm was blowing in.  Very warm, but extremly windy.  I felt good and really tried to keep within the paces.  Not sore at all post canyon.
