6 miles easy then a few miles walking while working at a small local 5K at our son's middle school.

9 miles, first mile easy then ran the 5K course from yesterday's race at more or less threshold pace (20:30) then 5 miles easy. This is a tough course! I'd have died if I had raced yesterday following the 15K on the track Saturday. Hip and groin not bad so I'm somewhat encouraged.

5 miles easy. Felt good, hip noticeably tight but little soreness elsewhere. Might do a light run primarily on grass this evening during my son's soccer practice, with barefoot strides, etc.

10 miles easy. Wanted to do a fartlek today but had some discomfort in the groin/lower abdominal area so just took it fairly easy.

Day off from running but I did get out for a hour on the bike (~17 miles, relaxed pace) this evening which was a nice change.
