I got up and ran in the morning for a change.  Did the half golf course run in 24:08 (8:02/mile).  My legs wouldn't go this morning, but that isn't anything new.  I've never been a good morning runner.  My upper right quads on the inside of my leg have been sore after running in the morning.  I don't have any problems in the afternoons when I run.  I'm not sure what that means.

I ran the same course as yesterday, and my inner right quad started hurting after about a mile again.  It feels better when I run faster and focus on getting a solid push-off from my toes and forefoot.  My time today was 22:16 (7:25/mile).

I ran in the evening, and it felt good.  I ran a little farther than I have been, and the legs were okay until about the last mile.  My upper quad started to hurt a little, but nothing like it feels in the morning when I run.  Total time was 34:06 (7:45/mile).

I did the usual 3 mile 1/2 golf course run.  I was a bit sluggish to start out, but I decided to pick it up the last mile and ended with a time of 22:12 (7:24/mile).

A practice fields loop in the morning.  The upper quad was sore near the end, but it is getting better.  It doesn't hurt as much, and it takes less time to recover.  Total time was 29:10 (7:53/mile).
