I spent Satuday and Sunday stressing out about my calf.  I stretched, iced, rolled and wore compressing socks.  I decided this morning that I would try running on the treadmill and if I felt any pain at all I would stop and get on the elliptical.  Luckily I was able to run 7 easy miles without any pain.  My calf is sore when I touch it and I feel a little bit of "something" every once in a while when I walk.  It does hurt a to stand on my tippy toes.  That makes me wonder if downhill will hurt.  I was hoping to run Mt. Nebo in less than 2 weeks.  That may be out unless I'm completely pain free.

I met the group at the SJ Soccer Fields.  There were several of us there for the early miles.  I warmed up for 4 miles then we did 4 mile repeats up and down Rustic Roads with easy running in between for 3 minutes.   I tried to hold back a little because of my calf.  I didn't hurt during the run, but shins are little achy and my left calf is still pretty sore when I touch it.   My mile repeats were all in the 7:40 range.

Easy miles on the treadmill at work.  I called it quits early because of shin pain.

I met the group at the church on tithing hill.  Cheris and I got there at the same time and were able to run for 2.25 before the group started.  We ran a 7 mile tempo run.  I was feeling really good and keeping a good pace until I had to make a pit stop.  That kind of threw my rhythm off a bit.  A few minutes later I ran into Jeff.  We ran together for about a mile and then I ran ahead and finished up the big hill on Lampton View.  I cooled down with Cheris and Jeff.  I forgot to start my watch after I ran into Jeff and didn't notice it for about 1 mile.  Most of the tempo run was in the 7:40-7:45 range.

I had a great run today.  The group was meeting at Cheris' house.  I got there early and ran an extra mile.  Then I ran 2.5 more warm up miles with the group.  Then at 6:30 we started The Run.  It was very hilly.  It seemed like all of the long steep uphills were into a very strong head wind.  My visor even blew off my head a few times.  I loved it though.  I felt really good today.  Average pace for the last 13.5 miles was 8:30.
