No Pain Would Be My Gain

This evening the training group took on the Central hill. For those of you out of towners, it's a 2 1/2 mile climb up hill that's part of the Half Marathon race course. It's hard, but it was even harder because the temperature at 6:45 when we started was 90 with a heat index that made it feel even hotter.

On the way back down, which is supposed to be the "fun" part, my hip locked up and I was in pain. It happens every year and it's so disheartening. My only wish every training season is to do it without pain.

Hopefully this is just a bump in the road and not a road block.
