Easy Run After Some Time Off

It's always the day after that gets you. What felt okay and pretty decent after Sunday's run quickly deteriorated on Monday. My right hip was hurting so bad that I had a noticeable limp that lasted into Tuesday. I took some ibuprofen and determined that my Monday and Tuesday runs could wait a few days. Especially with a 20-miler coming up this weekend.

Today's run went fine. The remnants of hip pain were still there, but we'll see how it feels tomorrow. I ran 5.5 miles in absolutely gorgeous fall sunshine. The past few days were a bit rainy and dark, but today was one of those autumn days we all live for. If everything is okay tomorrow I'll be doing some speed work. If not, see you on Saturday.
