1/4 mile warm-up walk...then a 3 mile run at an easy 9:44 min/mile pace...followed by a 1/2 mile cool-down walk. My hip/femur still feels good. No pain. Still hesitant to run anything longer than 3 miles yet...and maybe my body needs to stay around 3 miles for a couple of weeks to prepare my muscles and bones for longer distances. I'm feeling a little apprehensive because I absolutely don't want a recurring injury that takes me off the streets for another 4-5 weeks.
I think I need to sign up for a 5 or 10k...and get on a structured training plan for those runs.
