Saturday - Headed out with the ladies in my neighborhood. One of their sons has named us the Golden Girls LOL!!! Very little running got done. It was pretty much social hour with lots of walking and gabbing. I did all my stretches and walked for 10 minutes to warm up my hip. I felt great the entire time!
Running: Easy A

- Actual: 3.29mi @ 13:58
- Splits: 13:44, 11:32, 16:58, 12:38
Sunday - Mostly lazed around the house. I had been experimenting with different pain reliefs. The best combination I have found is an Icy Hot Back Patch applied to my hip with tiger balm smeared on my quad and glute. The Icy Hot patches stick the best.
Looking Ahead
I am so excited for Dopey!!! I've slowly been piling my stuff for packing. Even though I'm 45 minutes or so away I'm staying onsite. This allows me to have a little more sleep for all those early morning wake ups. I was so tired after volunteering for the Wine & Dine 5K. There was no way I could have safely driven back and forth 4 days in a row!
