Busy day at work Monday meant an unplanned day off. But the two days rest seems to have helped, and I'm for the most part pain-free in my hips/groin/lower ab for the first time in awhile. Good sign. 

My hip flexors were a little tight on the warm up, but after a mile loosened up ok. I ran about 3 on 11th-Shore Drive then returned to Jacobson for a hill workout. 8x200m (or so, may be a little longer, actually) up Jacobson, which is a pretty good grade, probably 25-30 percent. 

Repeats were 1:06, 1:11, 1:09, 1:15, 1:14, 1:12, 1:13, 1:12. 2 minute jog downhill between each.

By the last one I was wobbly, so I know I dug a little deeper tonight. It was warm, but Jacobson is all shade. Not enough fluid, that's for sure. Tired legs now. 

1/2 mile cooldown home. 49:40
