Good run this morning
First long run since the River Run over 3 weeks ago. Trying to give my hip a chance to heal. The therapy seems to be working as well. This morning I ran 10 miles at a 7:51 clip. Not too bad, and I felt good during the run. When I returned home, I worked on stretching out the gluteus medius (sp?) and the lower back, areas that seem to have been giving me trouble. Heart rate was a little high for some sections, but nothing terrible.
I also ran 6.5 this past Sunday and couldn't get the heart rate below 160, although I was only running an easy 8:00/mile pace. I think I was dehydrated.
