Found out that one of my legs is longer than the other, I'm pretty sure that's common thing. They gave me insoles and stuff that I'm not going to use. I did 8 miles, the first half or so with the team. Then I did 20 lunges, I had originally planned on 4x10 but I wasn't hurting at 10 so I went to 20, then I rested for a minute but when I turned back I cramped up on the first one and stopped, I will try the other 20 later tonight.

lunges can be rough if you haven't done them for awhile.

I did high bench step ups 3 x 20 on each leg yesterday and I haven't done them for about a month, so I am hurting today. It is amazing how fast muscles can get out of shape.

So which leg is longer. Left or right? For going around the curves on the track I hope it is the right leg that is longer.

My muscles cramp up really easy for some reason, and its my right leg that's shorter, but I mean I'm a lot better on the track than off, I don't think it's a big difference anyways, I've never noticed, and I'm more flat footed in my left foot so I think it helps too, my left foot pronates more than my right so I think it takes care of itself. As long as I train hard I will run fast times despite random health problems like that. At least now I'm a little more like pre! I defintely agree its absurd how quickly muscles get out of shape, its almost frustrating, but I think it can help you get stronger with more opportunities to get sore and strengthen them.
