I figured something very important out today. Lately, when I run on the treadmill at the gym the front of my shins gets totally cramped. I chalked it up to running on the 'mill and let it go. But, today I decided to lift and then do a road run since I knew it would be pretty warm. And it happened on my run! By about one mile into my run, the front of my shins was a hot mess and I had to stop at my house at 1.5 miles to foam roll my shins. Then it dawned on me! It's pump! It only happens when I run after lifting! Duh! It was like a light bulb. So, now I know. Run first, lift second. Very important!
I also took Ozzy running with me for the first time in quite a while. After the elbow dysplasia diagnosis he was constantly limping after runs, so I haven't run him in months. I only took him the first mile and a half and he did great, and still no limping! Yay!
