Rough day at the track. I think my legs are just dead from 2 3x2 mile workouts last week. Seemed like 4 days should have been enough recovery but I think I have been asking a little too much of my legs since like mid July. I cut todays mile repeat workout short after a 5:10 mile and then I just fell apart on the 2nd mile rep. My legs were giving me a big no while I was doing strides, and I did a 2:44 800m while Jake was in the bathroom before we started and that felt fine. But I was just did not have it today. Good news is that it's taper time for the half and I think if I can get my legs to 100% by next Saturday,not get sick, and avoid dairy the day before the race- I should run 70-72.

Ran over to the park and did some loops. Felt alright, my ankles are starting to feel healthier and stronger. I've been doing calf raises holds ,calf raises, and plyometrics. Often I'll do the calf raises and holds while standing in warm water in the tub which seems to help a lot.
