Not what I planned, because I slept in (until 6) and got a late start on Shore Drive. Got 12 in, and I was planning to get the whole run in (18) except a lot of Slugs showed up and, truthfully, I didn't want to miss the social time at breakfast. I then planned to get another 6-8 miles in the evening, but my garden and yardwork lasted longer than planned, and my cousin showed up so we had dinner together. At this point, the extra running is sacked. I'll get a good one in tomorrow. The 12 turned out to be pretty quick though, which wasn't necessarily needed but does always offer a little confidence boost (more so if I had a half on the horizon). Did the first two at a good pace, just north of 7, then dropped down to 6:xx for the rest of the run. A few in the 6:40s and 6:50s, and as low as 6:10. So it was more tempo than I set out for. Oh well. My hip was good (another reason I'm not too disappointed with fewer miles than planned this week) until mile 9, where it stiffened up. A quick stop to stretch helped. I don't think it's a structural problem, I'm pretty sure I just have an overworked muscle and some inflammation. I'll keep an eye on it. Not the best week, but not bad considering the work travel and today's unplanned change. Hopefully another strong one coming to kind of wrap up the work (I'm planning to race twice next weekend), then taper to TOU. 1:23:07 supernova glide red
