Running with dead legs by Optimus23

Hello all,

first time blogger, long time blog-reader (not really).

I went out for my first proper full run yesterday since competing in the pier 2 pier on 17th May (7.5mile race along south tynesides coast), as i received 2 rather hefty dead legs playing football last week (caught a couple of knees to the quads) and it actually hurt to lie on them (not that anyone actually was!).

They still felt a bit heavy but i thought what the hell, i'll push past the pain  and i did for a while, but like all things they caught on me and felt like  i was being punched in the thigh every time my foot hit the ground. But managed to finish the 5.5 miles.

But todays a new day and not feeling too bad.

Catch you later and happy running.
