I finally feel that I've recovered from the hip bursitis that plagued me this summer.  Yeah!  I've been running 4-5 miles, 4 times per week while doing elliptical the other two days.  I'm ready to try to ramp that up a bit and get on a consistent running schedule.  I am keeping my fingers crossed that my body can handle it.

 Today was a gorgeous fall day so I gave 8 miles a try.  It was a pain free 8 so that was good, but cardiovascularly, I feel a bit wiped.  It's depressing when I was running 50+ miles per week over the summer and could run long easily.  I hope the conditioning will return, but I definitely am not feeling it right now.

Ran five miles today with average time of 9:52.  For some reason, none of my runs are feeling especially easy lately, but I'm going to take it slow and build up my mileage very cautiously this time around - - in hopes that I really CAN run 6 days per week without injury and in hopes of slowly and surely building up my endurance.

One great motivator I have is my dog, Teddy.  He likes running so much - - it is hard for me to skip a day and deny him.

Ran five miles in the pouring rain!  Blech.  Fortunately, it was warm for Rochester . . .almost 60 . . so the rain was more of an inconvenience than anything.  

I did come across a very strange man with a bicycle under an overpass.  He was holding a HUGE stick and sort of waving me past.  Believe me, I was running pretty fast past him.  I thought maybe he was afraid of my dog . . .but my dog is this white foofy poodle type dog, so it is a little hard for me to fathom.  At any rate, not sure it was the best place for running alone.
