Ran an easy 4 miles in the morning. Still trying to work out the calf pain.

Ran an easy 6.5 mile loop in afternoon. Calf still in a bit of pain. Icing after each run. 

Ran an easy zoo loop today. Warmed up on the initial climb and let my legs turnover at a comfortable pace after that. took it really easy on the downhills. Calf felt much better today.

Iced upon return.

Ran a 7 mile tempo loop. Started out at JM and warmed up to 11th ave. Ran an entire 11th loop (center st, virginia, city creek captiol, city creek center st, virginia). The first half mile was building to tempo pace than I tried to hold a solid tempo for the next 6.5 miles. Total time was 36:24 for the loop. No splits...my sundial can't record them. Cooled down back to JM.

Legs felt better. A bit of calf pain in the initial miles. Pain faded with time.

Beginning to rethink marathon plan this spring. Run Ogden and risk injury or run Salt Lake and all but eliminate chances of achieving long term goals. What to do? 

Ran an easy 13 mile loop along wasatch. I let my exertion determine my pace and my goal was not to exert myself. Easier said than done when the temp is 70 degrees.
