Notes: evening run, a calm and humid 6 degrees (43 F); as somewhat of a surprise, I've found that I really like running in the city when it's dark (good thing I'm living in Glasgow and it's January!); the only problem with this sort of running is that it needs must be on hard pavements (under the street lamps), which is not as forgiving for my hip; my hip felt a tad achy and tender to start, so I tried not to set off too hot and did more of a walk/jog post-run; felt better as I went, all the way through - a quite comfortable pace; the real injury-check will be seeing how it feels tomorrow morning; I might even have to bother with some stretching tonight.
