So my running had been going well. I had started over from scratch and was slowly building up my speed and distance. By starting over from scratch I really mean from scratch. I’m focusing a lot more on running a better pace this time too because when I run faster than a 15 minute mile I’m actually more in a running stance instead of a walking/jogging stance… and it uses my upper leg muscles more than the lower leg muscles (where I’d been having a lot of problems).
