Up to 5 miles, still not fluid

RUN! 5 miles in 48 mins
BIKE COMMUTE 9.5 miles

I'm up to 5 miles now, still feels awkward and not "fluid". My shoes feel heavy and legs clumsy. But starting up running takes time, and it doesn't feel good at first. What does feel good is that I'm back to running and starting to get on a normal schedule again!

I ran 4 miles on Sunday in 40 mins, kinda stuck in the 10m/m pace range. Today mile 4.0-4.5 was at a bit of a pushed pace but it didn't last long.

As for healing of the right leg, when I fully dorsiflex I can feel tightness in the tibialis anterior muscle up along the shin bones. No pain, just tight. Like it's mildly constricted by a band wrapped around my calf. I'm still doing the ankle flex and rotation exercises. I mostly notice this tightness when driving and standing on the pedals of the bike. No more in walking or stair climbing.

Feel kinda...depressed...?... last few days. Like I'm oversleeping and my face is heavy.

31 days today on NSNG, I like it, but it won't last long when I start running long again. That's not for awhile yet, so no worries.
