Did an atempt at 3x2.25 miles with 4-5 minute jog in between. My first one was on the road downhill at 6:24 pace, the second one was on the track at 6:24 pace again and about 300 meters into the third one my calf started to really hurt so I stopped. Tried running again-but it hurt too bad and I didn't want to push it so I walked 2 miles home. Both calves were feeling tight on this run-but especially the left one-it would never loosen up for me at all and right after starting the third interval it kind of popped. I hope that I havent really injured it-so I plan on taking the next couple days easy. I will see how it feels. Kind of bummed bc the next 2 to 3 weeks were my push weeks. Oh well-I will see how it feels.

How are your calves feeling? Hopefully they were just tight and a nice ice bath and massage took care of it.

My left calve is alot better than it was-but still is a little tender-pretty sure I pulled it last week-so I havent ran on it since. Anyway-I think I will "test it" on an easy run tomorrow or Wednesday. Hopefully I can train soon (fingers crossed) or my marathon will be in major jeporady!
