Ran 6.75 on the mill today-we are making progress!! Walked .75 to loosen it up. Then stretched and started running at a slow 10 minute pace and eased into a nine minute pace for a while. Then I started picking it up slowly-8:30 pace for a while then 8:00 pace. Ran one mile at 7:30 pace, then one mile at 7:15 pace. yeah! Calf was feeling a little sore-but much better than yesterday. It seemed to loosen up and feel better about 3-4 miles into the run. Anyway once I hit about 6 miles it started acting up a little bit again so I ran to 6.25 and then walked .5 to cool down. I am definitely making progress and it definitely felt better than yesterday. Hopefully by the middle of next week I can start doing more speed again and hopefully by next Saturday I can do a long run. Marathon is 5 weeks from today!! I think if (not if when )I do the marathon I will only taper the last week or so. I am trying to think positive thoughts..... |
