Did 5.46 around sugarhouse park today.  I'm getting pretty sick of my leg still being sore.  It started off a sore and stiff and loosened up a bit as I got warmer.  Still, it never got to the point that I could actually jog with very good form.  I don't know what else to do but I can't wait around forever. 

 The effort this morning was a decent rest pace but after it was over I didn't feel like I had really given my cardio a good workout so I decided to hit the bike tonight.  The bike felt really good.
