I spent the night trying to figure out why I'm so sore. My legs, especially my knees are not happy with me. Fortunately I know I don't have an injury as it's just a dull ache no sharp pain. They throbbed all night. Maybe I'm getting too old for all this training. 40 is just around the corner.
Week one. What I'm hoping is that my body is just getting used to working hard again. It's not that I haven't been swimming, biking or running before training started but now I have to do it with a goal in mind. Hitting speeds, heart rates and paces that didn't matter before. Every work out has a purpose. Today I have only 1 workout. Yes! Tomorrow 3.
I got a new pair of sneakers that could be making things worse. My feet feel great, but the shoes are heavy and this knee thing...... I'll go back to my old ones that hurt my feet and see if the knee issues go away. I've been running on a consistent basis for about 7 years. I still have yet to find a shoe that works. Having one wide foot, one normal, one an 8.5 one a 9 and the highest arches I have ever seen on someone could be the cause. I have actually thought about having custom shoes made. They are about $400. I would have done it by now if they didn't wear out. Having to replace those would be more painful than how my feet feel in an $129 shoe.
So I hobble around a bit today. It's only the beginning.
