I have been out again with a hip injury since 11/24/2013.
Currently I am running 4 miles a day.  I'll update this
page with my plan as I start to increase my mileage.

I have been out with an injury for the past month. 
Thus the gap in my run plan.

My run plan is on hold. I was injured right before my marathon 
and now I'm recovering.  I'm running 3 miles a day right now 
and will have to take next week off, so I'll be back on 9/30/2013 
with my next "Plan".
