Around the Rose Bowl from the house. Ran into McGrail coming the opposite way, and this was around noon. There were a lot of stops for lights, pooping, etc.
I noticed that although my hip pretty much feels good while running, it hurts if I roll on it while sleeping. It can also be aggravated while running if I turn a sharp corner or go up a steep hill and shove hard off my left leg. There's no bruising, though, so whatever I did to it when I fell of the bike, it must be pretty deep down. Right now it isn't bothering me much, so I think I'll just ignore it for a while and see how that goes.

Pretty much the same run as yesterday, but it was cool today. I felt good.
Monday, September 20, 2010 (70 min)
Apartment to Lacy, circles there, and back. Felt good today, and my hip didn't bother me.
Weekly Summary: September 13 - 19, 2010 (285 min)
I took three days off, all unplanned. Sunday my hip was bruised from rolling on the concrete, but Wednesday and Thursday I just flaked. I slept in late, and didn't want to run in the heat, so I planned to run after work, but after working I didn't want to go running.
I think this is a clear indicator I'm not yet as into it and serious about training as I used to be, but on the other hand it may be keeping me from ramping up too quickly.
9/15 - 9/19
Wed 9/15: off
Thu 9/16: off
Fri 9/17: 85 min around the Rose Bowl from the east side, up to the foot of the hill to the dam, and back on the west side
Sat 9/18: 80 min on the north field. Then in the afternoon I had a small bike accident. A car in front of me was turning right, then stopped suddenly when another bicyclist went in front of the car. When the car stopped I ran into the back of it and fell off the bike. I needed a new wheel, but otherwise the damage to me and the bike was minimal.
Sun 9/19: Off. My left hip hurt after the accident yesterday, so I took off.
Monday, Tuesday
Mon: 60 on the North Field. My legs were feeling stiff and tired.
Tu: 60 on the North Field. Legs felt much better, but it was hot out and I felt a bit strained and depleted.
Weekly Summary: September 6 - 12, 2010 (350 minutes)
A solid week of running. Nothing too adventurous, but the long run on Saturday was more than I bargained for.
I took two days off, which I want to reduce to one next week, and increase my volume to about 400 minutes, and start throwing in a few strides here and there. If I feel so inclined I may even do a tempo run.
Sat, Sun
Saturday: 110 minutes. I went from the apartment to the arroyo and started up the trail. I had no particular goal, but after a while I decided that JPL was a good place to go. I had run JPL not too long before. But last time I rode my bike down California and back. Also, I started at 6:30 and it got dark before I even got past the dam after turning around. I had a difficult time navigating the trail by the golf course. There was some big event at the Rose Bowl, so there was mostly good artificial lighting all the way back to the tempo loop.
All told it was a long run. I felt fine metabolically, but I could feel some strain in my knees and feet. There were no real ill-effects the next day, though, so I suppose I got away with it.
Sunday: 60 minutes. North field in the evening. Felt good. Last half with Dennis, and we picked up the pace a few times.
Monday, September 6, 2010 (60 minutes)
The gym was closed, which I interpreted as an opportunity to sneak on to the north field. Actually, it was closed but the trainers were still there so the teams could practice, and I made it 21 minutes into my run before someone yapped at me to get off.
I finished up on the south field, and it was fine. I started feeling a little tired about 50 minutes in, but I have no pains or injuries at the moment.
