Horrible day at work yesterday, Horrible sleep last night.  Pretty great run this morning. 

Did 3 miles on the treadmill in about 22 minutes and then when it started getting light I went out to the Boardwalk, realized the Boardwalk is lit the entire way so running on the treadmill waiting for the sun is pointless.  Seems like I have recovered really well, no hip pain at all,  Here is the plan, in 2 weeks from today I start a 12 week program for St. George, for the next 2 weeks the plan is to just get some slow base miles in and try not to worry about my painfully slow pace (Yet).  I will try to get between 45 and 50 miles this week and maybe 50 - 55 next.  Turns out my cross training worked, I still remember how to run, but my legs are really muscle sore.  I'm amazed I can go out and run 9.5 miles pretty easily though.  

In the park there were a few rowdy hooligans thinking it was pretty fun to harass the runners and jog along side them makes snide comments, I noticed them running with another runner up ahead, when I got to them one of them put out his thumb like a hitch hiker,  I told him "come on, lets go" and took off at a good sub 6:00 pace, dropped him in about 25 meters :)  I'm glad I still have some kick, now I just need to hold that pace.

The bikinis models were out again today, hey, it's not my fault if they are right along my running route.  Jeez, don't judge me.

wow! big miles already. that's great to hear. your plan looks good -- i hope everything holds up and you can stay strong through your training. i'm glad it feels like the cross training paid off for you. for me, i haven't been able to run long enough or fast enough to tell. but my legs do feel sore after just three miles of running. shoot!

bikini models...geez...
