I mean that smile is ridiculous, over 2 miles:). But let me tell you, after 30 days with 0 mileage I would've grinned like the Cheshire Cat at one mile. If you've read any of my other posts you know I've been dealing with hip trouble, my hip flexor was all sorts of out of whack. I've been biking and using the elliptical, icing and foam rolling, strength training and squats and I think it's all helped!! (I also started drinking tart organic cherry juice.) Before, when the pain started it was sharp and pretty debilitating. Yesterday there was NO SHARP pain, I won't lie there was some discomfort after about a mile and a half but still not any sharp pain. I got home and iced and stretched. Today I can feel it, the fact that I ran, my hip is sore. It's sore in an I used it kind of way not particularly painful. I've got 96 days until my Full so I'm hoping beyond hope that the soreness today is a result of use and not still an injury. 
On an aside I have a new pair of shoes, Mizunos, and I've only gone 2 miles on them so I'm not sure what I think yet. I love my Brooks and typically am loyal to the brand, but the Mizunos are so flipping cute!!! 
Anyway, I'm on a rest day today, don't want to over do it:). My plan is not to run 2 days in a row for at least a week and then I will get back on my training schedule.
Happy Running everyone!!!
