Sun 10/29 - PM 25 minute warmup, local yokel 5k in 17:15, 25 minute warmdown. Very hilly course, atrocious winds. Still relatively relaxed which was good. Legs feeling better than expected after yesterday's workout and slipping and sliding. Needed some motivation to get out the door today.
Sat 10/28 - AM 4x6 minutes, 3R on Weston HS fields. Tiring but finished it off in one piece. Also some stomach issues. Still, able to squeeze out a bit more effort the final minute of the last two reps. Workout was most notable for the torrential rains and strong winds pounding away the entire time. Terrible traction in some places, left with a very sore right metatarsal afterwards.
Fri 10/27 - PM 60+ minutes, Area 51. 8 pickups on the way home. Legs suddenly feeling heavy and clumsy soon after starting, improved just as suddenly once the trail smoothed out somewhat. Some leftover soreness from last night's core exercises but overall right hip is feeling much better than it has been recently. The mojo may be returning.
Thu 10/26 - PM 45 minutes, Area 51. Range of motion in my right hip continues to gradually improve which is a positive sign. Still stumbing around a bit which I'm convinced can be traced to a lack of core stability, but it's better than it has been. Picked up the pace for about a mile towards the end, under control and felt pretty good.
Wed 10/25 - PM 60 minutes, Longfellow loop. 8 pickups on the way in. Things are more gummed up in my hip and back than I'd like, stretching helps but only so much. TFL and lower lat both knotted up, lax ball helps somewhat but the area is still pinched. More quality time on the stability ball tomorrow.
Tue 10/24 - PM 45+ minute laundry run. Legs still a bit clunky but better than yesterday. Moving relatively well the last 15 minutes, feeling pretty good. More stretching after the run.

Mon 10/23 - PM 30 minutes easy, Summerhill road. I've decided to take it easy on volume and intensity instead of stopping cold turkey, as there's no way I'm going to do the stretching/strengthening I need to do without doing some running as well. AM runs will be dropped until I can feel like I'm sleeping better. The shorter runs leave plenty of time for ample stretching, plus I dusted off (literally) the stability ball and went through the basic three exercises I used to do back in the day. I may be deluding myself, but after stretching yesterday as well, the problem areas already feel a bit better despite the expected soreness from attempting to race yesterday.
