Ran 6 miles on monday, 5 on Tuesday. Great weather for my run Tuesday, ran at lunch 5 miles, twice on the north Marina riverwalk route.
Still some hip pain but I'm trying to work through it with the stretches and the foam roller.

Sunday
Wasted Week
Last week was horrible= I was sick. My hip hurt. Waaaaaaa. Still, managed to swim twice and run 3 times. Total mileage was pathetic but I probably didn't slide too far in my fitness level.
This coming week, I think I will run less, but keep up the 3x a day workouts MON- WED-FRI and then Tues and Thurs just the run. Maybe swim Tues and Thurs if I feel like my hip can take it. I purchased a foam roller (from Target- I love that place) and have been using it relentlessly to the amusement of my family. Even the dog has been smirking at me.
On the brighter side, ever the optimist I've been getting my water carrying devices ready for the warmer weather. I've got a new 70-ounce bladder for my Camelbak and have spotted one that I would like to buy.
My son comes home from school in a couple of weeks; he'll be going to ROTC summer camp in July and wants to lose 25 pounds before then. He's more of a weight lifter than a runner. He weighed in at 202 last week and wants to get to camp at 175. He boxed at 175 lbs and that's probably an ideal weight for him when he includes hour-long runs into his workouts. So he and I will workout together for a couple of months, and I'm really excited about that.
So i'm shooting for 30 miles M-F running, 4 miles swimming, plus 4 days at the weight room. Saturday I'll either do a long run or maybe do the Midtown Classic 5k, since I was sick for the Celebrity Classic.

Ran for an hour today. I had to do some rest last week because of my hip. Ended up with just over 25 miles for the week :-(

68° with 93% humidity this morning............... I'm glad I brought my fuel belt, because I ended up going through 30 oz. of water during the run. 6.5 miles this morning. It won't be long before I go back to the Camelbak, since it holds 70 oz. The 4 bottles on my fuel belt each hold 10 oz.
Will swim again at lunch, then lift weights tonight.

Monday
It rained late in the afternoon yesterday, then most of last night. It wasn't raining at all during my run this morning- just 62° with 90% humidity - and it ended up being really comfortable. Ran 8.3 miles.
OH- I'd gone about 200yds this morning when I noticed a mallard just standing in the middle of the road. I gave him the full beam from my headlamp, but he didn't even twitch.
I'll try to swim at lunch, then lift weights tonight.
