Spent the last few days hiking in the Smokies so no running but at least I got in some work on all the hills.  

It was a beautiful morning (50) and calm.  Felt pretty good but a little sore from the hiking.  Used some muscles that I don't normally use going up and down the hills. Glad to get back out today but just kept it easy.

I was up late last night and slept in this morning so ended up running later in the day.  It was warm (78) so I missed running in the cool mornings.  I felt good but didn't have time for more than 5 miles.  Still some pain and tightness in the hip.

Evansville, IN:  I had early meetings so had to get out early and didn't want to run in the dark in a new area so ran on the TM.  Felt good with just a little pain in the hip.

Nice morning (54).  Today planned to do a progression run.  Warmed up a couple of miles then ran a couple of miles around 7:35 then picked it up and ran the next 4 between 7:10 and 7:20.  Nice run for me and felt pretty comfortable the whole way.

Ran later this morning so it was warmer (68) but still nice.  Still having some pain in the hip.  I am trying to stretch and strengthen it to make it through this marathon.  Hopefully I can keep it in check to finish my training.  Planning long run tomorrow so kept it shorter today.

Light rain and around 60 to start.  Ran to the park and did loops to run on the gravel for a softer surface.  My hip started to hurt around 6 but then went away and didn't bother me any more the rest of the way so that was good.  Felt ok not great and was starting to tire the last couple of miles.  Glad to get this in and hope to get in a couple more long runs before the race.
