not my best performance
So I went for my 30 minute run last night right after work and I don't know what my deal was. My quads were killing and my calves felt like they were going to spasm into charlie horses at any moment. I have to admit that I walked at least half of the half hour. I think as someone who is just getting back into running that I need to take a day of rest between every three days of activity...at least for a little while. We have family coming in tomorrow so hills may have to wait til Saturday. Good luck everyone else though. Any good hill recommendations, I'd love to hear them.

If you're feeling super sore I would skip the hills altogether this week and just work on the longer stuff. You'll build the strength in your legs without really taxing the muscles. Also make sure you are really stretching and drinking a ton of water post workout.

The thing is, I didn't feel that sore before I started. It was weird. So yeah, maybe I'll skip hills this week and do a longer, trail run on Saturday and then Sunday Funday.

That's pretty normal your muscles are probably fatigued. Especially since you are just starting out again. They are just not used to being taxed on a daily basis. Hydrate, Hydrate, and if you like some gatorade isn't a horrible idea.
I removed my last post b/c I haven't had any Caffiene yet today and my brain is fatigued.
