left foot bugging me, an old spot I hurt on a rock way back .. didn't feel it during the walk but, might have landed on a hard one. Actually, I felt this when I was running (very slow) on the levee on Saturday, hit a few rocks right in that area and boom felt it.. probably aggravated it a bit then.

lame.

pretty happy with that 11:43 .. Haven't gone sub12 since my 11:39 -> hips feeling strong, lunges might be helping already.

on a sidewalk this would most likely have been an all-time PR, so many little "speed bumps" in the area I walked.

wasn't sweating too much on the 13:XX paces, but then when I pushed it hard on the last mile, sweat just pouring out .. lmao. Very fast walking is so intense.








feet stinging:

eh. feet stinging all day after that walk. probably crushed a bunch of rocks hard but was numb to it HEH.. annoying.

why don't I have caveman feet by now? fml.

will probably be fine by tomorrow.. still, annoying and always "worrisome".

hah. 60-49 cavs right now.. would be hilarious if they are incredible now.. LMFAO.

Lebron goes from trainwreck to mastermind GM (again).

deserves its own post:

after running today, shortly after getting home, had a weird pain in my right calf .. very tender to a slight touch .. Think a blood vessel got wrecked or something.

can barely feel it now but it was pretty intense after my run earlier.

right hamstring/calf feel a bit sore in general but, this was very different. interesting. hope it's nothing & doesn't reappear... barely any hard running this week should help though.

I do... what?
