My hips were hurting so bad from skiing yesterday.  It just shows how one dimensional I've become.  I really need to do the other things like stretching and some dynamic warm-ups, weights, etc... Otherwise, I'll barely be able to walk when I get older.

I did warm-up and decided to run an easy 6 miler on the treadmill in Girdwood.

It was kind of a failed workout today.  I was suppose to do 8 miles at 5:52 pace and I just wasn't ready for it.  I'm following a little different program and I'm just not ready yet.  Plus, it's hard over the holidays with all the crap I've been eating.  Still got a good workout in though. Next time will be easier.
