It's been a frustrating two weeks. After the first runs, I had a very slight soreness slightly above my ankle, on the inner calf of my right foot. I massaged it too hard and it got very sore for a few days. Then last Tuesday I increased to 2 miles. The next day my anterior tibialis was sore on both legs. It took three days for it to go completely away. The result of all this is that I have had to take 3 days off between runs. The Tufts gym is closed so I can't swim or bike. So I'm sure that I'm dropping fitness. All I can do in between is use the foam roller and resistance bands. And the Tufts marathon team started running together this week - with 4 mile runs! So I'm already behind (sorta, their official training plan begins the first week of November, not the end of August - I dont know why they announced runs now).

So now the big question is how will my legs feel tomorrow. I really have no idea. So far all of this doesn't bode well. But it's not nearly enough to stop me just yet. These could just be pains associated with the return to running after 9 months.
