Still out here running

So after the CCM, I felt a little sore, but hit the treadmill for a Monday and Wednesday 3.5 to 4 mile run. By the end of the week I was wiped and my left leg was bothering me on the quad muscle where it attaches to the knee on the inside of the leg. Its like a twinge and it is just plain uncomfortable.

Last Saturday, I hit the road for a 4.4 miler and was running well, when that twinge hit with less than a mile left. I walked it off and I was pretty upset. Once you gear up for a run, you want to complete it. Anyways, a bit dissatisfied with that performance, I took the next two days off and then hit the road on Monday for the same 4.4. Another twinge, but I was able to run through it and I felt decent afterwards as I ran faster coming home then I did going out.

Last night was the kicker though. Went out around 8:40 for a little over 3.7 miles and I just jammed with another buddy of mine. We discussed the election the entire way and then near the end, with a little over two minutes to go, I just took the pace up and felt awesome. I really feel like the lungs and legs are working together and I am probably hitting my runner's stride. Very exciting and I look forward to seeing the splits drop.

BTW - I am starting up P90X at the end of the month if any of you really want to crank up your workouts. 2nd time through and I am just letting my shoulder heal up.

Training

Hi all,

Hope you are well. Have pushed through about 63 workouts from the P90x
system over roughly 100 days along with 6 days of running. Feeling pretty good, but I have not stuck to the diet as well. I hope to be in pretty good shape for the CCM and help the team out with some decent miles. Once I let
my shoulder heal a little bit, I will start the P90 program over again, probably in November, so let me know if any of you would like to get in on
it. Good for everyone staying motivated. Keep it up.

Look forward to seeing all of you soon.

Cheers!
