Solo run at lunchtime. It was only about 85 degrees, so it wasn't too bad.

I've been having some hip pain lately, and it's got me a little concerned. I'm about to start ramping up the miles, but I don't feel it's a good idea. I'm pretty sure it's the ITB (outside of hip on both sides). The plan is to take a week off, get some new shoes, and revitalize my plans -- while doing some low-impact cross-training (bike riding, swimming, walking).

 

85F, cloudy, S6
