I ran down a mile and 1/4 before our PVTs took a 2 mile PT test. I ran the first mile in about 6:40 and then slowed down and pretty ran back with the slowest of the group. Our slowest guy finished at like an 18:10-ish...ugghh! Then I ran back. Felt really good today while running.

 

After my runs are over I get this sore feeling in my left leg, about knee high. Not in the knee itself, but on the inner part of my leg, knee high. I thin, it may be some kind of hamstring or tendonitis, just by feel, but I can't tell exactly. Anybody with any ideas?

Good treadmill run. My leg was bugging me slightly during the run. Afterwards I tried to stretch it out and it was excruciating. Hamstring stretching was so hard! Stretching my hamstrings, both standing and sitting, hurt that tendon or whatever on the inside part of my left leg, knee high. After doing that a minute, I thought I felt something move or just hit a pain threshold, and then it started to disapate. The rest of the night it felt pretty good. I don't  know what that was, but things are feeling better!

I'll probabaly keep it easy for the rest of this week, between 3.1 and 4.0 miles at a moderate pace.

GPS went out on me after .39 so I am just estimating here. I wanted to tone it down a little because of my leg so I ran about 3.4 today probably at an 8:15-ish pace. I just wanted to stay relaxed and not strain that tendon, or whatever it is.

I averaged a 157 BPM which is starting to come down, but I really need to be increasing my distance in order to really get my heart rate down. All in good time. I don't have a race or anything I am preparing for right now, so slow and steady without injury is my goal!
