9 mi in 1:10:44
7x800m. Felt good today except for pain in the left SI/IT band connection that turned into some weakness in that hip. Actually missed a couple of steps at the end of the run b/c of the loss of stability. Light rain began about 2/3 of the way through the run. 2 of the 800m repeats on the roads to BHS, 4 of them on the track and a final one on the road coming back. Target was 3:10 per 800. Splits were 3:14 (0.5 mi), 3:22 (0.53 mi; coverts to 3:11 for 0.5), 3:09 (0.5 mi), 3:11 (0.52 mi; 3:04 for 0.5), 3:13 (0.51 mi; 3:09 for 0.5), 3:17 (0.52 mi; 3:10 for 0.5) and 3:17 (0.5 mi). Using the times scaled to the exact 1/2 mile, the average repeat was 3:10. I'm a little concerned about the hip. It had been almost completely better. Will have to monitor carefully. If it doesn't respond well during tomorrow's recovery run, I may have to scrap the tempo run planned for Thursday.
