Took a stroll around the campus again. It was a pleasant evening. I was even able to catch a baseball game that was being played on one of the outer ball fields. The sun was beautiful and plenty of birds kept my company throughout the run. Nice.

Ran today in the sweltering heat and it definitely took a toll. I could not shake the temp and ended up calling my run after only 6 miles instead of the 9.5 that I originally had in mind. I feel good though, especially my hip which has felt terrible for the last month now. I am very excited to start getting some 30 mile weeks again.

Ran at South Mountain Park again this morning from Pima Canyon Trailhead. The 85 degree weather was a definite plus but the legs just were not into it. I am feeling still a little stiff and my upper hip is still aching. I dont know if I should maybe give it a rest but it does not seem to be getting any better. I think I am gonna spend a little more time stretching before my runs. Hopefully I will have a better run tomorrow.

Tough run on the treadmill. Winded, tired, and most of all not interested but pushed through and finished in a decent time so I was happy.

I found this on the ultra-marathon athlete Anton Krupicka's running blog at Running Times. It is both interesting in voice and substance and very well written. Follow the link here.

Ran at the gym and had a decent run but I could feel a little discomfort in my hip again. I should be able to go to the mountain again on this coming wednesday so I am looking forward to this.

Finally today I was able to get outside for some trail running at South Mountain. I took the trail from the Guadalupe/Pima Canyon entrance and soon found that running the trails from that end are not ideal because the map is not accurate which threw off my running route leaving me running down the side of the mountain on two different occasions to connect to a trail that I knew would lead me back to the parking lot. It was hot, 95 degrees, and I decided to not bring water because I thought I had mapped out a good route that would last roughly 45 mins, but in the end I nearly got lost and knew that without water I needed to reconnect to the original trail and get back to the car. Overall though the run was good and I am looking forward to getting back to running on the dirt.

Hello there! It has been quite some time since I have posted any musings on my runs here so today I am officially back! I have been under the weather for the last 2 weeks almost and have been unsuccessful in finding anything positive about my running. Now, as of today I feel as I am finally 100% again. I will keep you posted.
