Hip Flexors

Sunday, June 29:

Local roads, 6.6 miles, moderately hilly, in one hour, pace 9:05. I meant to run 9:00 to 9:30 but went out way too fast as usual. In the second mile my right hip flexors started to hurt. This happened in the marathon too, though much later in the race. Furthermore the pain didn’t get any worse in the marathon, but this time it did, getting bad enough to make me walk some of the time. Huh. Walk a little and it was better, then run a little and it was painful again. It disappeared within minutes after finishing the run.

Gosh I hope this isn’t ANOTHER injury that will take a month or two out of the summer. I’ll wait until Tuesday and try another run until it hurts or ten miles, whichever comes first. Guess I'm still doing Grandma's recovery.

SCV Runners, 5 miles in 46 minutes. What a beautiful morning it was! Nice easy pace, no pains of any kind. Best of all we received a gift of organic veggies from friend Jim and took them home for lunch.



Saturday lunch: Jim's organic spinach, onions, beets, and beet greens, with a few dried cranberries, banana, organic peanut butter (for the banana). Yum.


Sunday dinner: Wild-caught Alaskan sockeye salmon, organic lime, Jim's organic beet greens, spinach, and onions, with a few organic raisins, plus orange and mango. I took seconds. Thanks Jim.
