I do. I have previous injuries and orthotics but it's strange...there are days when it seems like everything should go wrong (I get up late, the weather is bad) and I have a fantastic run. There are days when it should be perfect and it isn't. My spots of pain roam around so it's difficult to tell me PT what hurts because one day it'll be a spot in my ankle, another day it will be something else.
Maybe you're overtraining?
I can relate though. Today I did an increased distance and it felt surprisingly good. Today I did a short distance and it was a struggle. That's what made me think of overtraining or not enough recovery time. Maybe keep a training log?

yes, there are days when I feel really "speedy" and other days when I have "leggs of lead" . . most times, it makes no sense. Treadmill running is easier for me as long as I have a good CD to listen to or one of my kids to read to me or keep me company. Whenever I run on the road (which is infrequently at this time despite a history of marathon running) my ankles and shins get very sore. I recently got new shoes and this has helped somewhat (with the soreness). Overall, it's my belief that road running is far more "stressful" on the body!
Many Blessings!

Thanks to both of you for replying. That makes me feel better. I think I may stick to the treadmill for a while and see if that helps. I was doing so well on it. I just wanted to prove that I could take it on the road. Seems a little ridiculous and counterproductive in hindsight. Have a great weekend!
