AM - Small VO2max workout at Western's track. I did a long warmup through the Arb, then 4x800m w/ 2:20 rests. I went 2:27, 2:26, 2:27, 2:23 feeling comfortable. Afterwards I saw Deroche for some therapy on the hips. I've seen a little improvement, but things have still been pretty irritated. He tortured me and gave me some exercises to do on my own. My hip seems to be getting a little better, but there's still a lot of healing that needs to happen. Hopefully I can continued to train and see improvement.

PM - Work loop (3.25)

Long run. 18 miler -- I headed up the horse trails at Padden, then did a second loop around the lake so I could do a 4 mile MP tempo. 5:55 average for that, then continued on the the Urb to finish up. 2:08:30 total time. I hydrated and slept better than last week, and this was not nearly as terrible.
