I do PT(Physical Training)Â just about every morning, except Saturday and Sunday.
This has consisted of a four mile run and then a workout after lunch to wake me back up again to finish the day. I am trying a new program of long runs on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday with weight lifting and push-ups and sit-ups . Interval training on Tueday and Thursday.
I did great on Wednesday and Thursday.
Friday morning, I woke up at my normal 0430 and realized I was very tired. I was too tired to turn over. But, I HAD to get up to workout. So at 0500–the deadline–I stood-up. It was then that the voice of my body said–”Oh no, you don’t.” And I realized the pain I put my body though on my first day of interval training. I laid back down for another hour.Â
I’ll try again starting Monday.

Sounds like ITB Syndrome (Iliotibial Band Syndrome). Affects a lot of runners and clsiycts. It results from the ITB running down the outside of your thigh rubbing against lateral epicondyle of the femur (google any anatomy questions). It results from poor biomechanics. You got good shoes now hopefully. You need massage and stretching of your hips and ITB, stretching of your quads glutes and strengthening of your hip abductors, quads, glut med and glutes.
