Lesson learned is to stick to your training plan. 

As I have posted before my training plan is based on 1/10th mile increments.  I startes just walking then progressed to run 1/10th then wal****il I could run.  The cycle has continued in the manner of:

Walk 1/10th run 1/10th
walk 1/10th run 2/10th
walk 1/10th run 3/10th


so today was supposed to continue on the walk 1/10th run 3/10th, but after 3/10th I still felt pretty good so I said I will keep running, .5 miles I still felt pretty good so I kept running, next thing I know I have run a full mile, woohooo good for me.  After the first mile I said ok I need to walk so I walked a 1/10th and then ran another mile, I was still feeling pretty good at this point.  It wasn't until like almost mile 3 that it really set in that I had made a mistake, my hips were sore like never before and my muscles burned the rest of my run was probably the most painful run I have done.  Knees and ankles are fine it is more hips and muscles that hurt.

So Friday's run will be following my schedule no matter how good I feel.  I felt good so I figured I would push a bit farther.  Probably wouldn't have been as bad on a tradmill as I could have just gotten off but on a trail or street however far you go out you have to come back.

Lesson Learned!

It's good to push yourself every now and then though. Rest up and you'll be fine.
