Day 4

Slowly getting faster, is that an oxymoron or does it just sound like one? A onomatamoron perhaps?

Did not stretch before going out, should have done, felt it in my shins almost immediately but the hip and thigh has not flared up like it did in practice runs or in the first two days. Maybe getting them worn down and into shape or getting used to this type of exercise.

I still do 8 sets of 15 reps on the weights each day (lat pulls behind the head, chest pull downs, pec flys and chest pushes - each with about 120 pounds on the stack Guessing as it's about 3/4 of a 150 pound stack)) and then a 30 minute cycle on 80% resistance.

Ran to the first corner, walked a bit, ran nearly all the way down Watling (furtherest one stretch done so far) and have been running all of the Mt Eden Stretch for the last 3 days now. Final stretch maybe 70/30?
