Still Running

Monday, and again today, I did 5K's at a 10 minute/mile pace. My heel is a bit sore, but not too bad. I am amazed how quickly conditioning went to pot: I was floppy-legged by the end of these runs.

On the light days, I did 1/2 hour of cardio, some core, and lunges.

Another 'duh' moment: If I don't do lunges I get cramps on the inside of the thighs. I wasn't doing lunges because they left my legs sore. However, I recently found that I could back off on the reps and still avoid the cramping. Gradually I am increasing the reps. I am guessing that my inner thigh muscles are unusually weak, since stretching didn't help.
