gosh, i am at the point where going out for 5 or 6 miles is a quick run. i slept in this morning so had to be finished running by 9am due to the heat. warmed up at 10 min pace for one mile then cruised on. my hips were very tight yesterday after my 15 mile run the day before. they were ok today but i learned something–my hips didn’t get tight if i was striking with the middle of my foot instead of the heel first. also, if i lift my leg a bit higher at the end of the stride as i follow through, the hip seemed to be happier. some days i want to play the tinman and have my ball and socket oiled!!! i will play around with this stride some more on saturday when i meet with the group and ask some questions about form. if anyone reads this blog and has some insight–feel free. i’m all eyes!

pamela,
good run! you’re going to be so ready for that 1/2 marathon!
my foot was feeling a lot better but last week i seemed to back slide. not even sure why so i’m going to try to take it easy and take care of it to see if i can move in the right direction again. it’s hard pinning down exactly what hurts it. extremely frustrating! in any event, i’m trying to bulid up my long run, ran 8 yesterday and felt great the whole time.
