Using this week as race-recovery…15k on the roads really tears into your legs! Also, my cough is terrible so I'm taking it easy. Am going to the doctor yet again…my appointment is tomorrow.

Good workout today with Vivi. It was really nice to "roll" this workout with her. I found it a pretty "hefty" workout…4x3,000 meters, but a really good half marathon workout. I was feeling my right hip again, which I always have had a problem with but has been improving with acupuncture and physical therapy.

Moderate long run, I really felt my legs today, and they were STRUGGLIN'. My lower back was killin' me too. I get acupuncture next week though so I'm just going to do what I can (stretch and what not) until then…
