in a groove

Today I was scheduled for a 20 minute run. My right hip hurt for about the first 2-3 of it, then loosened up. I had another great run. The weather was amazing. I felt great. I ran pretty fast since it was a short run. Had my headphones on and my music turned up. I was in a groove, just like Saturday. I had nothing short of a fantastic time. When I got home I told Brendan that for the first time since the summer of 2003 I feel like I'm in a cardio groove. That makes me smile.

I took aspirin before my run and iced my hip after the run. So far it's feeling more or less ok. I know the inflamation is there but it isn't causing me pain, if that makes sense. I'll continue to treat & monitor it and hope it works itself out.
