Beautiful morning (50) with some light wind.  Was a little concerned about the pain/tightness in my hip but it didn't bother me today so that was good.  I started off pretty easy for the first 6 miles and then picked up the pace some.  Ran the last 8 miles around 8:00 or slighty below.  Was feeling tired in my legs the last few miles but a good run.  Definitely encouraged me that I might be able to complete this marathon.

Another great morning (52). Just an easy recovery run after the long run yesterday.  I have some pain if the hip and I'm starting to wonder if it is these shoes because it seems worse when I run in them.  I will drop them now and see if that helps.  Need to keep the stretching and strengthing up.

Beautiful morning (52).  I skipped yesterday to rest the hip and it was just a busy day.  Started off easy today then plan was to run around 6 miles at MP.  My Garmin is broke so wasn't able to get very good splits but I most of the miles were in the 7:30 range.  I picked it up even more the last few to around 7:00.  These were more like tempo pace.  Overall good run and feel like the training is coming around if I can keep this hip problem under control.  It hurt some the last couple of miles but not bad.

Great morning (52).  I felt good for the first 4 miles but then had some pain in the hip the last 4 miles.  Nothing that required me to stop but very noticeable.  I am going hiking with some friends the next few days so will have some time off.  Hope that helps.
