I felt pretty good considering the lack of exercise I have had this month and my pregnancy junk. I even felt like I could pump out a couple more repeats (which would have equaled another couple of miles), but I decided it was prudent not to overdo it. My left leg and hip still hurt. I stretched for a long time afterward and was able to walk with only a slight limp and mild pain the rest of the day. It felt really good to be running. Even though I am not a good runner (I know I have terrible form and am slower than molasses), it feels so good and natural to run (OK, most of the time--sometimes it stinks). I just want to get back to normal. I am going on a bike ride with Tim this morning (our easy 6 mile route) and will probably try to run a couple of miles on the treadmill too. Slow and steady.
