3 miles yesterday, rest today

I didn't get a chance to post yesterday, but that happens. Ran 3 miles yesterday but was REALLY feeling it in the hip. Oddly enough, stretching helped tremendously and pain was minimal the rest of the day.



I seem to be getting back to normal, bit by bit.

Splits
Mile 1: 9:12
Mile 2: 9:02
Mile 3: 9:37

And today was a rest day, which after the soreness was certainly welcome. I also have a funny story.

There's a new product on the market called Action Wipes. They're designed as an all natural way to clean up when active, whether you do sports or just sweaty from driving a while. :) The woman who created them is named Martha Van Inwegen, and I follow her on Twitter.

There's also a longtime author who used to edit Runner's World, named Bart Yasso. Martha was at an event, talking to Bart, and I joked on Twitter that she should have him autograph a single-serving pack of Action Wipes. Ha-ha, that was that.

So yesterday I opened the mailbox to find she'd sent me a package:



You got it, she sent me a bunch of Action Wipes, two of which were autographed by Bart Yasso. The caption reads, "Greg, never limit where running can take you. Bart Yasso". What a hoot! I was laughing for about 10 minutes on that one.

Anyway, tomorrow's a 5-mile run in the morning, and a 5-mile hike to a 10k peak! Big, busy day. Have a good evening!
