Did the workout as written. Had a PT appt first and then went to BR for the treadmill. Given the issues with the hip I didn't want to attempt this outside (in case I had to stop or adjust mileage). I woke up feeling a little off, like I was coming down with a cold and also had the hip really bugging me. PT appt confirmed a couple of things (still looking very much like a labral tear and my big toe issue is arthritis in the joint, not extensor tendonitis).

For the run itself, I did struggle, mostly because my hip bothered me. I didn't really feel tired or out of breath until the last 12 minute set. Definitely not one of my strongest tempo runs, but I also recognize that my body is pretty worn down between the training and the hip injury. I may have to skip an easy run (or substitute with a pool run) this week to be able to recover enough for the long run Friday.
