Notes
Up late last night drinking so wasn't feeling the hottest this morning. Plan was to do about 18K with 8K warmup and then 8K at HM pace. Right hip was feeling a bit better today but still something just isn't right. Knee continues to improve.
Warm up was a little shaky but was able to find HM pace pretty quickly once pace work started. The first 1.5K was with some tailwind so I felt pretty relaxed. The next 3K coming out of TT was into a headwind so I really pushed the pace through this part. I was worried that I wouldn't have anything left once I exited the park but my legs were able to respond. The next 3K through Cherry Beach did have a tailwind so the run wasn't ideal in terms of balance. I still felt like I had some to give after the 8K despite working pretty hard throughout the run. Overall pace was 4:00.1 so quite happy with results despite the favorable wind.
At some points during the run my hip was achy and caused me to lose form. Knee was never a bother. After run there is the slightest tightness in knee and hip feels wonky, will need to see how both feel tomorrow.
