Week 2

Another week in the books and the muscles are a little sore as I type this tonight. Part of the problem is that during my non-training time I was busy installing a new patio at my house....so I think that added to the pain. The long run went up to 9 miles this week and I continue to see improvement. My average heart rate on the long run stayed about the same as last week, but I knocked some seconds off the average time per mile. I did feel some pain in my left leg this week after the run.....mostly tightness and some discomfort every now and then. I took today off to rest the leg and will be doing cross training the next two days to give it some more "down time".
