Ran the River Des Peres service road. Ran mostly on the grass. Tried running with a mid-foot strike. My hip felt okay during the run. After it was a little sore. My left foot hurt during the run.

I hiked the Wilderness Trail in Meramec State Park. I did the 10 mi loop counterclockwise. My quads were sore from the day before and my feet started to hurt towards the end. The weather was great. I saw a deer, turkeys, snake, turtle, lots of lizards, mating butterflies...Copper Hollow Spring was really pretty. It looked like the water flowed out of the the huge rock wall. The trail wasn't very hilly but there were some rocky spots at times. I didn't see anyone else out on the trail.

Ran Mardel to River Des Peres around to McCausland. My hip was acting up so I stopped at that point. On the way back I alternated between walking and tempo pick-ups. No hip pain during the speed work. Felt good at the end of the run. No knee pain or calf pain.

Rode to River Des Peres at Gravois and back.
