Oh my, I have totally been flaking out on blogging!  Business keeps getting busier--which is good--but meanwhile, many things have been put to the side!

 

Running has NOT been put aside, but just blogging about it HAS!

 

I'm still having pain in some of the hip muscles, and now I'm going to PT.  It's not terrible, and it'll surely get better soon.   I've been doing maintenance miles, but will hopefully soon start training more assertively.

Track workout today.  1 mile at 7:14, 1 mile at 7:40, 1 mile with a heart rate of 170-180.  Oh, there was also a warm up mile.

Perfect running weather today--about 45 degrees, sunny, and gorgeous!  This is a very hilly route, and I just relaxed and didn't pay attention to pace--ran comfortably.

Splits:  9:02, 9:05, 8:53,8:23, 8:27, 8:36, 8:44, 8:22.
