I was so sore today in my vastus lateralis (out quad muscles)! I was way more sore than yesterday, talk about delayed onset. I was hoping for 5-7 miles but I was in a bad way. The funny thing was that no other muscles seemed too bad. I contemplated not even going but I needed to at least get loosed up a bit. The first block down 1000 North was about too much for me, and I almost turned around. But as soon as I hit some flat and uphill I was fine. I tried to run the flattest course possible, which is hard because I live up by the University. I ran over to the Temple and felt great when I was on an incline. But I was in trouble everytime I hit any kind of downhill, even the sightest grade. Also, when I had to stop I could really feel it. I guess my legs at WBR were a little meaner than I thought they were. 25:42

You pounded that downhill pretty good. The good news is that is some great SGM training. I like to pound my quad's at least every month or so to get them ready from the marathon here. As you learn to run better downhill you can just relax into the run and over time you start to not get sore at all.

That will help you get in shape Alta Peruvian as well!

I am kind of scared of what Alta Peruvian might do to me! I know these runs are good training for St. George and I obviously need to do them more often. I was surprised that I got as sore as I did! The funny thing was, it was just in the one muscle, not the whole group of quad muscles.
