27% Fat, 53% Water. Yesterday was Sunday, so there was no working out. I probably ate a few hundred more calories than I burned. My legs were hurting from Saturday. I looked up what may cause the pain and found it's likely that my heel is striking first when I run, and due to how over-weight I am, this will cause shin splints or even fractures. Hopefully I haven't fractured anything.
The solution to that problem is to take shorter strides and force the ball of my foot to hit sooner, taking stress off the heel. Also, spending more time on cross-training machines such as the elliptical and stationary bike will help any splint or fracture heal.
