I was too lazy to get all the winter gear on to run outside this morning; it's 30 out. I did 2.3 miles on the TM, including a little warm up, cool down, and 2 2 minute walk breaks. Last time I was on the TM, I could only do 2 or 3 2 minute run intervals.
I've decided against the Pat Tillman run, although I might do it as a walk (and I suspect i would run for part of it). I have 2 Saturdays I can't do any training before that date, as I am part of a bike workshop for my club and then I have a class the week after that.
Red, I thought more about what you said. The thing is, my hip hurts whenever... it's mostly just stiff in the morning and then gets better. The MacKenzie PT has really helped. I just need to make sure I continue doing the stretches. It's like having a personal trainer that my insurance pays for . I am notorious for not stretching.
Running will never be my #1 thing, and I mostly do it in the spring and fall. But, I still like to be able to go out for 2-4 miles when I feel like it.
