8 miles this morning. The Boy helped me design a route that involved no backtracking (h8 that on long runs!) so we devised a figure 8 run that retraced just one small section of road on which I could leave my water bottle and rehydrate. It went well, other than being quite hilly. Had some odd hip pain (other hip this time) but now I think it just comes down to running hills, because always when it occurs. Will have to keep an eye on it... I don't want to limit hills completely because I think to some extent I just need to run more of them, though I'll be careful not to do too many!
