running

I have my good running days. And I have my bad running days. Lately what’s been slowing me down isn’t lack of endurance or motivation, but my right hip. It’s been developing this dull ache that gets worse especially on the long runs. I’m not sure why the right hip in specific. I think I run slightly biased to put additional weight on my right side and it’s making me pay the price… So on tonight’s epic, I decided to cut it short to let my hip recover and save the epic for another night. Better to keep on running short routes than put myself out of business – esecially with the marathon coming up so soon.

Today’s route: 8.6 miles, 1 hr 20 min.

I drove to work in the morning.  I ran back home after work.

Today’s route: 8.4 miles, 1 hr 10 min. 

Jeremy joined me again tonight. Not our best pace, but I went further than I’ve ever went, so that’s a good thing. I’ll improve on the pace next time. After I got home, I was limping around like a 90-year old man.

Today’s route: 14.2 miles, 2 hr 21 min.
