Tue 11/12 - PM 45 minutes

Area 51. Cut the length of the run short so I could attempt to get to bed at a reasonable hour. On top of the usual obliteration of my afternoon thanks to coaching, had to bag leaves when I got home before being able to head out for a run. Pace started out fairly crisp, lagged a bit in the middle before picking up again near the end. Also did a fair number of short pickups on the way in, trying to focus on upright posture and keeping the hips rotated forward. Right thigh feels like it might be in something of a state of flux, plenty of adhesions and stiffness still but in a different place overall. More in the belly of the muscle and less tightness in the upper aspect. Hopefully a positive sign that the stretching and rolling on it are having some effect and if continued regularly will help resolve the worst of it. Or maybe I'm just deluding myself. Soreness in adductors and hip flexors on both sides was more obvious and noticeable, after yesterday's rolling adventure in the leaf-covered trails of Pisgah. Downright cold, felt much more like December than November for sure even with the breeze slacking off.
