So I can't help think that these two are related in someway. Monday night I went for a run on a city street by myself. I was called out by a guy sitting on his front porch. He said hey girl you are looking hot tonight, and then said what no response back? I just ran passed and tried not to let it bug me. Immediately my legs just tensed up. My legs felt like bricks and started to burn, literally after the run I could not walk it felt like I ran a marathon and I only ran 3 miles. I am a childhood sexual abuse survivor and one of my triggers is being hit on by guys. Yesterday during therapy I was doing some EMDR around a different childhood trauma and I felt my legs burning again. I thought maybe it had to do with my extra running lately and my body was just getting used to putting on more miles. However, I ran further last night a more hilly course and ran faster with two other people and I had no issues with my legs at all. I can't help but think that the burning muscle pain has something to do with my past. I have not really had any body sensations in the past so I am wondering if this could possibly be some new body memories?
