I'm from good ol' Hurricane, UT, but I currently live in Glendale, AZ where I am attending medical school at Midwestern University.  I am married with 1 kid at the moment.  I love to run, and despise treadmills, but here they are currently a necessity.

Quick run over the top of River Heights and back home. I ran today in 7:30 pace. The entire run took me about 15 minutes. It felt awesome.

Ran up to campus and back on the road near the temple.  The first half was at 7:30/mile pace.  The second half was a little slower at around 8:30/mile.

Today I ran into some problems. I started out a little bit stiff, but it didn't seem too problematic until I hit about the mile mark. My legs absolutely locked up at this point. My calves honestly haven't heart this bad since the marathon. I really don't know what happened. My plan was to run 4, but it became quite clear that was not going to happen.

So I'm pretty sure that I've got stress fractures or something. My muscles aren't the least bit sore, but I can barely get through a short run without intense pain to the point of not being able to walk around for about an hour after a run.  I'm probably going to go see a doctor for this before too long.
