It was cool and slightly drizzly during my run this morning. But the weather cooperated fairly well because it's raining harder now that I'm inside and done with my run. I actually got warm and had to take my jacket off and tie it around my waist.
It was just a short, easy run today to keep me rested for my race tomorrow. The race is in the early afternoon (12:30), which is weird for me. All the races I've run in the past have been in the morning. I guess I'll get to sleep in.
I ran some 5Ks earlier in the year and at the time I felt like I didn't have more than about 3 miles in me and so I didn't do much of a warm up. However, since then I've learned that it takes me a mile or 2 to get warmed up and then I can run faster after that. And since I'm able to run more than 3 miles now, I think I'll jog slowly around the parking lot where the race starts (I'll run around The Tattered Cover) for 15-20 minutes before the race starts and then I'll try to set a PR on the race.
My hip is feeling better today. I've been taking ibuprofen and running never seems to bother my hip. It's the other stuff.
