With the hip being anything but I elected to play it safe and do a shorter run, nipping down the river trail and around the first two loops of the lake before circling back on the main trail to complete 5 km. My pace was a bit slow for a 5K at 5:12/km but not unexpected, given my dippy hip. I may go in to have it prodded and poked if it doesn’t start improving soon. The left upper leg muscles are also a bit sore after I started extending my runs, so I can appreciate the variety of different problems on different legs.
Endurance was fine and I actually had a decent finish after I warmed up. Not bad overall, given the circumstances.
