Whats up with my legs, I can not get them to go... Its like as the run goes on my stride gets shorter and shorter because my legs at the top of the inside of the hip get stiff, this is just wierd. It seems like ever since I stopped strength training twice a week on my legs that I have had this problem, and it is getting worse so I strength trainined my lower half this fine morning and we will see how that goes... Total time was 55:04, average pace was 9:09 and heart rate average was at 135, the pace wasn't that bad for my recovery run but it was just very laboring, so if anyone has any advise to spew my way it would be greatly appreciated.

See ya tomorrow.

I wonder if it has to do with the cold? That kind of thing happens to me when I start too fast, instead of warming up gradually.

Good job on getting the miles in, Clay. Pace doesn't matter unless it's a race!

I agree with Lybi. The cold can cause aches and pains that wouldn't exist at other "warmer" times of year. Just keep plugging but don't ignore it if it gets worse. Good Luck.

It was actually warmer today, the mid 20's which is pretty comfortable, maybe I am coming down with something or maybe I'm darn tried, I don't know...

Maybe its age related and the cold combined, greeeeat!!!
