Easy miles with friend.  Probably good to take a break like this...hips still in pain.  I'm learning to stretch more, which I actually really enjoy!

Took it sooo easy.  About 8:30 min/mile.  Ran up Hobblecreek.  Enjoyable, actually.  Hips hurt.  Iced the one pulled muscle hip after running.  Also mowed the lawn!  Which probably adds a couple miles.  :)

 I'm a little nervous for my half marathon this weekend because my hips really start flaring up in pain after about 7 miles of running.  And that's after slow running.  Not sure how they will do going fast.  Ibuprofen?  I think yes.  Haven't been doing speed workouts, either, so I don't know what kind of goal/time to set for the race.  Maybe sub 1:32?  That seems reasonable.

Just a nice morning run in the blizzard.  Excited for my race tomorrow!  Hopefully the weather improves...

What a fun race!  I started off taking it easy to see how my hip would hold out.  (I didn't have too high of expectations for this race b/c of my injuries.)  Hip hurt the first 6 miles or so but started feeling better (a miracle).  I was able to pick up the pace after the first 3 miles.  I think the pain is all in my head.  :D  Felt good physically/mentally during the race.  Probably the best I've ever felt!  Besides the hip problem.  Didn't even hit the wall!  Had negative splits pretty much the whole race even though the first half was downhill and the last 4 miles was uphill.  I was pleased with my time despite "taking it easy".  I really really enjoyed the course because the downhill wasn't too steep.  Wasn't sore after the race.  Felt great!  Will definitely do this race again!

Easy miles with a friend.  Legs not too tired or sore from the race.  So that's good!

Up Hobble Creek Canyon and Left Fork.  Didn't hydrate or eat well, but felt okay overall.  Hurt the last 3 miles.  Legs were a little tired from yesterday's run.  Hips felt alright.  Sore quads.  Mowed the lawn for 2.5 hours for cool down.  :)

Hips hurting again...I think it's because I'm not on the steroids anymore.  Felt okay cardio wise, though.

Provo Canyon.  Felt slow.  Feel the need to do a speed workout or tempo run or something.
