After seven successive runs, gave the legs a little rest for three days and joined back the group again for a run. Not stretching for three days is affecting the left leg muscles. One lesson I am learning is that it is less about the rest between runs (well as long as I am not doing more than 3-4 miles) but more about the twenty minute stretching after run that makes the difference between keeping my legs healthy and getting hurt.

Do you folks have any similar experience?
