Notes
Partly cloudy, a little breeze, nice temperature. Last long run before the marathon. Plan called for 10 miles, but wanted to do more to see how my hip and knee would be. Parked at Bretton's and headed up 108. Tried to keep the pace closer to 9:00, so I had to keep slowing down. Felt pretty good all the way out to the Canton Store. Turned around just before the 6 mile mark and had a GU. Could feel my hip a couple times but it went away. Mile 7 to 8 was ok, then I could feel my hip off and on 8 to to 10. After mile 10 it was sore but never got any worse. My pace slowed some and had to pay attention to slip above a 9:00 minute pace. Got to mile 11 and still sore but managable. When I got back to the bridge just before the end, I picked up the pace to get through the intersection quickly. Hip actually felt better when I lengthened my stride. Hip was better this run, but still not sure if it will make it the whole race. Stretched out when I got home. Left hip was kinda sore later. Good training run. Hopefully Aaron can get me straightened out before the race.
