Yesterdays 7.65 miler went really well! It was a bit misty and squishy out but the temp was great. It’s always a good feeling when you dress perfectly for the weather. Not too much or not enough clothing, but just right. This gives my mind a break from worrying about being too hot or too cold and lets me concentrate on my run.

My hip felt pretty good during the run. A little tightness and soreness in the hamstring while running but none in the hip. The only time that hip flared was when I had to stop and wait for traffic to pass. Getting started was like winding up a toy but eventually it would get into the rhythm. Behind my left knee was pretty sore during the run but that didn’t throw my stride off yesterday.

I iced and used a heating pad on all of my sore body parts last night. Getting out of bed wasn’t easy today though. When I stood up my hip killed and my left knee and leg felt like it was going to buckle. Still pretty annoying and sore but I’ll have my PT check it all out tomorrow. On a good note, since starting at the chiropractor my lower back pain has been greatly reduced!

90 min of cardio and my arm workout today!! Bring it on baby!
