I wanted to run to McCormick to meet the team but my left leg won't cooperate. I did manage to run for 2 minutes...

Today was my glorious return to running. I ran 3 miles and my lower leg (left) started hurting again. Now it's 9 PM and it's so bad that I can't even walk up on the stairs. It looks like I won't be able to run for the next week or maybe weeks...

3 miles with BPR. 3 new people joined the group I hope they will stay. I felt okay and my goal is to be able to run 2-3 miles every day.

5 miles of walking around the Pima Air and Space Museum trying to find a route for our new 5K. They offered a golf-cart but I wanted to be modest and low key so I walked in my flip-flops-not a good idea:) But here is the course:

5 miles with Dan and a bunch of girls. I felt kinda okay, my legs don't hurt as long as I run fast. The moment I slow down it starts hurting. But it's not bad, it looks like I'll be okay within a week or so.

4 easy miles in Oro Valley. 2 uphill and 2 downhill. No pain at all and I felt good running on a hilly course. I think my legs are finally getting better.

1 mile around the house. Nothing special but my legs weren't hurting and I was able to run a decent 7:47 mile. Leg pain is great because it feels really good when it's gone.

Almost 6 miles with Prithi. This was the first time running with her and it was great. Nice not too easy pace and really good conversation. My legs were hurting the first mile but it went away and I was able to enjoy my run.

2 miles with BPR and 4ish with Attila. Lots of pain during the morning run and none at night. If I run fast there is no pain...
