Just getting comfortable with the TIC TIC TOC

I started my physical therapy a few months back after an injury and  finally have reached the point where I am able to do some minor running.   As, most runner's know, running outside can cause a strenuous effect on the body. It's almost like running against a concrete floor because you feel the next day like your muscles were run over by a car that you  never saw coming your way.  Most of my training I am doing on a threadmill...
