Tonight I ran 3.1 miles.
At the half mile mark I literally ran into a pack of dogs. My neighbors were out walking and had one collie and two boxers off-leash. One of the boxers followed me and kept jumping up my leg! I stopped for a bit to pet him.
My upper body felt great during the run. It was nice and easy with no heavy breathing. However, I'm still having some soreness in my lowers legs. I'm not sure exactly what's causing it, but I have three theories:
1) The newness of marathon training. My weekly mileage has increased so much in the past few weeks. Maybe my body is just getting used to it.
2) Shoes. I've been running in the same style shoe for almost one year with no prior problems. Could it be that this shoe just isn't good for lots of running?
3) The need for massage. The Stick will be here tomorrow so I'll see how massage helps me out. I'm also considering a foam roller.
