Notes
Long run Thursday - supposed to meet Joe at 5 but overslept and didn't get down there until 5:30 or so. Ran first half with Joe/Cat/Heath/Katie. Kept it easy. Even those easy miles didn't feel as good as I hoped - body just not smooth - working hard to find a good rhythm. Once Joe turned back I went out and tried to run some "pace" - was hoping those would be faster but they came out around 7:30s overall. I kept tightning up and working too hard on form. Once I relaxed and got out of my head a bit it got better. Last few miles were better than miles 13-16. Ended up with about 9 miles of pace.
Going to run a little bit more before Montana but that might be my last hard effort before Boston - 3.5 weeks out. We'll see. Need to get these hips feeling better.
I remember my glutes were the issue a few years ago, now it's the hip flexors/psoas.
