Went out for 8 today. About 3.5 miles in I realized I was feeling pretty good. The pace seemed controlled, the breathing was good, and the legs felt fine. Well there is still that twinge of something in my left femur/quad area. I wonder if it will ever go away. Hopefully it just does not get worse. My split on mile 7 was a little fast. It just happened. Of course then I tried to hold it on the last mile. I could feel the extra effort then. I need to just keep plugging along, getting in the miles with slower paces. One day the legs will be ready to try more, but for now I will take anything I can get.
