| Sort of unplanned day of rest. Got busy with things and knew I needed a solid block of about 2-3 hours for the workout I had wanted to do, and ultimately could not fit it in - partially due to laziness. Anyway - will resume in the morning. | | Add Comment |

AM - got up early and headed to the gym to get the last long-ish run/workout in the books. Had a decently solid effort. 2 miles warm up, then miles 2-8 at just under 7 mins per mile; then 10k at 6:23 pace with about a mile cool down. Very comfortable at the 7 min pace as expected - so that's a reassurance each time I go out when I know I have much more to give. I think the 6:23 pace was on the edge of things for me as I got to the last couple of miles. I was working, not straining, but working hard enough that I know, that pace is slightly out of reach of my current fitness to expect it to be marathon pace. So, all in all a good workout. May need some massage on the the left calf as it was quite tender afterwards. Interesting read - Runner uses EPO -- I did not realize when I posted this, it was a point of discussion over on Let's Run. PM - 5 miles ponderously easy at lunchtime. Calves were sore and tight from the workout this morning. Used the foam roller on my legs afterwards. Seems to have improved somewhat.

AM - very easy recovery run of 3 miles. Left calf was sore and tight to begin - took it easy and massaged/walked a bit and it eventually settled down.
PM - a little over 8 miles after work - easy pace. | | Add Comment |

AM - easy 3 miles before work. PM - 7.5 at lunch with some striders. Felt kinda crappy, bit of a down day. Very muggy and buggy out too. Bleah. | | Add Comment |

AM - just under 5 miles this morning easy. Felt a bit better today than yesterday. Left calf is improving but not 100% just yet. Will continue to do easy aerobic runs as maintenance for now. PM - 8 more miles at lunch on the treadmill. Kept it at 70% HRR which was a little slower in ppm than is normal for me - in other words the HR is a bit elevated. So aerobic running for a few days should get things back into balance. | | Comments(2) |

AM - 7.5 miles easy before work. Going to get a massage on the legs today. Lunchtime - had a good massage and trigger point release on the calf and hamstrings. Feels much better. | | Comments(2) |

| PM - 8.5 miles easy to moderate on a warm but pleasant afternoon - ran through Spanish Trails - nice breeze. Legs felt reasonably good after yesterday's massage. | | Add Comment |
