six slow miles. Hip started hurting pretty good at 5 miles. Felt decent with a slight dull ache before then.

ran 6 on the TM in Cabo. Hip felt a bit achy. Decided to see how a faster pace would feel on the hip. Turns out it makes it hurt faster. Last mile was a 6:50.

A guy in my neighborhood is running one of those spartan races and hasn't been very consistent at running. He wanted someone to start running with and I told him I could go out with him. He said he runs about a 12 min mile and is in bad shape for running but has been lifting a lot. I agreed to go out with him and keep it slow, should be good for my hip at least to slowly build back up miles with slower pace.

We did a 4 mile run that almost killed him. We averaged a 10  min mile and then I decided to do 2 more miles afterwards a bit quicker to see how my hip would react. My hip felt pretty decent the entire time. A little achey but not overly painful. Last 2 miles were at closer to 8 min pace.

6 slow miles. 4 with Rex (neighbor) out and back along Wasatch Blvd and then 2 loops in my neighborhood to test out how the hip would feel. The hip felt good for the first 4 miles, but then it got a little more achey on the next 2 miles. It wasn't super painful or hindering to me, but still enough of an annoyance that it kept my attention.

6.25 slow hilly miles. Ran from my house up big cottonwood canyon for a bit and then turned around and came back up to my house, with some loops in the hood. Hip felt good today, so that is promising.

6.25 slow and lonely miles today. Just weaved up and down my neighborhood. My hip felt totally fine until about mile 4 and then it started acting up a bit. I hope I can get this thing figured out soon.

cross training.

Was given a copy of the Iron Strength workout DVD that was put out by Dr. Metzlr and runners world. Let's just say I am much weaker than I realized. It does a bunch of plyometrics and very low weights for some upper body work. Really gets the legs and abs burning and the heart rate up. I will try this 2 days a week and see if it will help with my hip and running overall.

6.25 slow miles. Legs were crazy sore from the cross training. Took about a mile to get my legs feeling decent. Hip felt good until mile 5 then I noticed a little ache. My not have noticed the ache in the hip due to both legs aching pretty good throughout.

7.1 total today. Ran 5 slow with my neighbor and then 2.1 quicker miles solo. New shoes felt great and my hip felt the best that it has in a while.

6 more slow miles.

Ran 1 while I waited for my neighbor then did 5 with him. Hip feels decent. I still get a bit of an ache after a few miles but it isn't getting worse. Hope that means it is getting better.
