Nice morning (54) with some wind.  Just an easy shake out run to start the week.  Felt pretty good with just a little pain in the hip.

Nice morning (56).  Just an easy run.  Still had some pain in the hip but it seems to be staying managable.  Will continue strengthening and stretching.

Foggy (58) this morning so stayed in the neighborhood. Today planned to do 4 miles at tempo pace.  Target for us around 7:00 pace.  I did a 2 mile warmup then did the tempo.  Took me a little while to get going but after that felt pretty good.  The last mile I was feeling more effort but still under control.  Here are the splits: 7:17, 7:05, 7:00, 6:50.  Glad to be able to pick it up a little each mile.

Nice morning (58).  Just an easy run today after the tempo yesterday.  Would have liked to run more but had to get back for a meeting.

Got out a little later today so it was warmer (63) and I had to cut the run short.  Glad to get in a few miles today and felt pretty good.

Nice morning (50) and sunny.  My first 20 miler in a long time.  Got off to a good start and felt good most of the way.  My legs were really feeling it the last 3 miles and especially the last mile.  I think I ran the middle miles a little fast.  Glad to get this in but I'm a little concerned about the marathon considering how I felt the last couple of miles.  Not sure I would have had 6 more miles in me.
