Truck Mania

Bought a new (to me) truck yesterday, and spending all day at a dealership pretty much canceled out my planned run. Today I was able to get out and run 5 miles. My hips were very tight and a little sore, probably from the increased mileage last week. I ran 3 miles at a pace between 8-8:30/mile. Even though my upper body felt loose and strong, my hips and glutes never got into a good rhythm. I'm thinking I need to get back into the yoga, which I haven't done for several weeks. I ordered another yoga DVD, this one for runners, and I hope it helps with the flexibility around my middle. Also on this run I had placed a cushion in my shoe, but it didn't work too well. This one was a little too firm, and I think I need to switch to the kind I wear in my other shoes. The breeze today was also quite chilling, another reason for me to cut the run short by a couple of miles. Plus I wanted to get back and do a few things with the truck.
