I went for a walk this afternoon and it kicked my butt. I don't understand why walking is harder on me than running. My left hip had sharp pains and my right foot hurt. Go figure.

Things run coaches are saying.
Things run coaches are saying.
Run by feel, I hear this often and think about it on my easy runs.
Keep your easy days easy so your hard days can be hard.
Racing too much dulls the athlete.
Tuesday 8
Today my legs and hip specifically were not doing well. I opted for Netflix and chill.
Wednesday 9
Justin and I had a nice little run around downtown Knoxville this evening. LM and LS. 3.3 miles with 4 x 100m uphill strides.
I had a right calf issue which may have come from an incident at work that was odd. Tuesday or Wednesday I was sitting in my office chair and when I was getting up my right leg pushed back against the chair's edge as my leg straightened. I didn't think I pushed back so hard as to cause pain but it was almost like a Charlie Horse.
Thursday 10
Tempo. LM and LS. 1 up and drills. Mile one 7:27. Mile two 7:23. 1 down. I brought this down from 7:39 and 7:32. GSM.
Friday 11
My plan was to cycle this evening but I opted out. I also opted out of running. I'm having some left testicle discomfort and can't understand why.
Saturday 12
Long run. We did an easy 5 miles then picked it up for the last 3.
