Morning PT:
Running: 1.5 mile - 8 min mile; 1/2 mile - walk
I took yesterday off because every one of my major muscle groups were hurting. I pretty happy with today's run though. The main problem still lies in my legs though. They just don't like the consistent strain of hoofing it around the track. I did read something that helped though, it was an article called Run Softly, Run Tall and it made me realize that the way I run is horrible. I used to plod around the track. Seemingly trying to pound the pavement into submission. Now I try to land softly on my heels and push off with my toes. This has helped immensely. It tires the hell out of my calves, but I have less knee pain and I'm not burning up as much energy.
Tonight, I do my pullups and situps and do windsprints (Which everyone knows I hate. I hated them years ago in soccer and I hate them still). It's funny. I actually like getting up early and running. I feel good!
