Two weeks ago I was lucky to finish my 3.1 mile loop under 40 minutes.

I only switched from running to walking 3 times, for a total of about 2 minutes spent walking instead of running. But more importantly, I felt good almost the entire time I was running. My legs never hurt during the run and they don&#8217;t feel sore after running. I kept catching myself enjoying the run. It still seems strange, but I&#8217;ll take it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have been using the Daily Plate over at LiveStrong.com to track my eating and exercise habits for the last month or so.
