AM: Fun run this morning in another balmy 8 degrees with Matt and Reed. Tried to focus on pace and keeping my body relaxed. Felt like I was able to do so the whole time. Only felt like I labored for a half mile on the climb back. Was able to stride out in a lot of the run. This to me is a good sign that my body is ready to push to the next level. I still need to get my right leg 100%. Still not feeling normal. I am loving the consistency thus far and another good workout this morning. Will we ever see warmth again?! PM: I wanted to do a steady progressive tonight. I got on the TM with the intent to do 5 more miles. I wanted to do get faster every 1/2 mile. I got 2 miles into the pace of 6:30 and knew I was in trouble. My right calf was tight and tender and it was not letting me relax like I needed. At 2.25 I shut it down. I decided to work on some core exercises. Back at it in the morning.
