Struggled to get up at 5am but I did it. Had a slice of toast and a coffee then got out the door. Had pain again in the hip flexor but could still run through it. Starting to think I might need some time off running to let it heal. Got 1/2 way along Ocean view drive and met up with Ian. Ran 4.5k to Wambie Whoppers in about 23min where there were maybe 30 or 40 other runners. A great turnout!
We all stayed together until the Ridgeway Hill then we split up. I was running with the front group up the hill but with the hip flexor still feeling tight & sore I backed off. Coming down the hill there was a drink stop with sports drink, lollies & cans of softdrink. I had all! By now my hipflexor was doing ok so I picked up the pace and soon caught Mark Dunlop, Thomas & Wayne.
Got to the end in 1hr42min30sec. We then all chatted & I managed to get down 2 beers which went down smooth then ran the 4.5km back home in 41min30sec. Hipflexor was good on the way home but could still feel it
All up today just over 29k in about 2hrs27min
