I ran today after work and didn't get started until about 7:15 pm.  I pushed my daughter and went the same route.  I am not feeling as good as I did a couple weeks ago and that is frustrating.  I felt like I was really going to take off and start doing really good, or at least better.  My leg hurting like it did didn't help, and on tonights run it only felt awkward for the first 1/4 mile, if that, and still feels fine, so that is a good thing.  I suppose I am just frustrated with the lack of time I find to run and not logging very many miles.  I feel like I need miles to get better.  Anyway, I am happy to be running and I will get off the pitty pot now.

Keep your head up! Sorry to hear your leg isn't feeling great. Do you feel the same pain when you run without the stroller?

Yes, it started last monday after the run with dad. It was much worse last week and it really doesn't "hurt" anymore, just a bit uncomfortable, and only when I start running. The first few days it hurt to walk so it is definately getting better. Thanx!!
