Total Distance

did an nice morning run 5.5

5 miles in the afternoon.

Really sore from the run on Saturday. Walking around all day has been painful, even more painful than when I went out to run.

Hoping to run the sorness out of my legs...

Left foot is very sore still. However running isnt any worse than anything else so I don't think I'll stop.

I think your picture provides some insights on why your legs are sore. You are way up in the air, so when you come down, you hit the ground hard having a lot of height to fall from. Especially on a downhill course.

However, I would not worry about it too much - give yourself 2-3 years of consistent training, and the issue will fix itself.

I think when you're racing on a course with a drop like the Bryce Half Marathon I don't personally see how you couldn't be "in the air" and "come down hard".click here for picture.

For every step you take you could be dropping 3+ inches. The only way to prepare your body for that type of elevation drop is to train on it.

I think you do a great impersonation of the the easter bunny!! I never knew you were in to hip hop!
