Monday 5:30 am run.

Today I ran for 37min. I did 4.8 miles. I felt fast but my ankle/lower medial shin area was tight. I came home put on my vibrams and ran up and down the street a few times.

Strength : Core-push ups- Rows- Med ball upper body - Wall sits- lunges- side leg lifts - pose drills- calf raises - one leg dead lift.

New Running: I am trying to learn the forefoot running form ( running on the middle to the ball of my foot) I think I am having a hard time because every time I lean from the ankles my right ankle starts to hurt. My goal is to start running strictly in racing flats or my vibrams. The clunky running shoes that have become standard I believe is part of my ankle issue. It is not allowing my foot to do the motion it needs. Besides the ankle problems my back, glutes and IT band tightness has completely gone away since I switched to this style of running. I will explain more later.
