Legs felt fine this morning from yesterday. Right shin area had a little ache, but not bad. As I ran, my left quad area felt sore. I am wondering why my left quad always is more sore than my right. It is also the same leg I had the stress fracture in. I wonder if there is something in my form which causes more impact or stress on that leg. I wonder how I would find out??

Another warm day. Ran easy, but legs still tired in the end.

Legs felt suprisingly fresh after putting a few more miles than usual this early in a week. Better than they felt the last 2 days at least. Of course I was just as tired at the end of the run as I usually am.

am - Legs still feel fine after 4 days of higher mileage runs. Finally have a couple of days off then begin dayshift. Now I can do 2 runs a day instead of all the miles in 1 run. I hope my legs appreciate it.

pm - 1/2 mile into run the rains came a pouring, along with some thunder too. Shoes and clothes got real heavy. Could feel it on the last mile. Ran 1.5 miles easy, next 2 pushed a little, then another easy 1.5 to finish. Left quad sore.

Rainy, rainy day. But we need it real bad. Other localities near us are under water restrictions. But luckily our town draws water from a river that has not gone dry. So I went to the gym for a run on the dread....I mean treadmill. I wanted to go 8 today and was worried if I could go that far on it without becoming bored out of my mind. I had never been over 6 on one before and that was only once. But it was not that bad. Never got bored. The pace was easy enough where the cardio was fine. About 5.5 into it though my legs ached a little. But the same happens on the road. So all in all it was a good run. But I do not want to run on the darn thing too often.

Got home from work and knew I had to hurry and get out the door. We were taking the kids to a Halloween Carnival this evening and were going to eat dinner a little earlier. I wanted to get in 8, and get it done kind of quick...but not too quick. So my splits were a little faster than I had been running. Cardio wise this pace felt great. Never any difficulty. But after 5.5 miles my legs were getting sore. Right calf, left quad, and bottoms of both feet were hurting. Found on downward grades I was putting on the "brakes" and that made it hurt a little more. I wish my legs would catch up with the rest of me. Also I have been bad about tracking my miles on my shoes. That may be the problem. But I did just get some new ones so we shall see. Wish I could afford to get two or three pair at a time to rotate them properly.
I realized I needed about 9.5 miles to get 50 for the week. It would have happened but my work schedule and the weather cut out a couple of my 2 a days. Still if I had more time today I would have done a relaxed 10. But 50 is only a number and I was still pretty close. This week's mileage should be good though. Working dayshift and no heavy rains in the forecast this week.
