Back in Abilene, I ran in the evening - it was 85 degrees but with the sun hidden behind clouds (possibly for the first time in the history of this town), and a perfect 10 mph breeze, it actually felt ok as I went shirtless again. Equivalent to a 75 degree, sunny, windless morning maybe. I ran an 8:10 average pace, so not bad at all. Afternoon and evening runs always go much better for me.

I think my hip injury (strain) is healed, I'm just gonna have to deal with tight hip flexors, I think. Weak butt muscles are a contributing factor to that and my injury, according to Dr. Internet. I've been able to lay with a baseball in certain spots and work out some stiffness along with lots of stretching. In the meantime, anyone have any favorite glute exercises?

Glad things are going well! ChrisM on the blog would be a good person to ask about glute exercises, I know he has worked on those pretty extensively.
