I'm happy to report that I completed the first run of week 5 of my training program today. I ran a pain-free 3-miler in the beautiful Berkeley hills in perfect weather. I feel energized and excited to continue progressing through my training program.
In an effort to stop my hip injury from returning, I've been doing physical therapy exercises everyday. I think these exercises have been effective in strengthening my hips and core, and the result is that my injury hasn't been reactivated. However, after reading this article at Competitor.com, I learned that there is even more I can be doing for injury prevention. Surprisingly, it has to do with what and when I'm eating.

Getting Back in Shape After a Long Break
Happy 2011! After a long break from running and fitness in general, I’m ready to get back on track. Last week, I went in search of a running plan that would get me back in shape. Since my level of fitness is so poor right now, I steered myself toward novice plans to ensure that I didn’t take on too much too quickly.
Here’s what I found.
