Wow did this run hurt! I got into the gym for the first time last week and on Friday lifted legs. I probably haven't lifted in 6 months due to time and my shoulder injury/surgery. I think I can start doing some light stuff now. Anyway, I back squatted only 135lbs and then front squatted 95lbs and I am SO sore!

Needless to say, it made running this morning a bit more difficutl than it already is! I was actually pretty happy with my times per mile. I know I can be running about 30 sec/mile faster and still feel okay, but I am still getting back into it. Better safe than sorry!

Today felt a little better on the treadmill. Not quite as sore as I was yesterday, but ran slower too. I averaged around an 8:15 or so at 158 Avg BPM.

I wanted to cut back a little today. I've been running a heavy (relatively speaking) load the past couple weeks and don't want to get injured. Ran on the treadmill about a 8:20 average at 159 BPM.

Ran out on the river trail today. I couldn't get the GPS started until the first mile so I am not sure what my 1st mile split was. I assume it was right about 8:00, maybe a bit under.
