| Todays run I was like a Zombie coming back to life, uncordinated and out of control. I can't believe how fast things go physicaly when taking an injury brake. I hope it will come back quick, I did the golf course loop, took things easy and enjoyed the run. I did 25 min on the bowflex, upper body and some crunches. |

Tired legs today going to take some time to get it all back. I did 25 min on the bowflex upper body and some more crunches. |

My training is pittafull, Whack legs again today, no energy just having a hard time going. My calf is still givining me troubles, it may be a lottle bit better not mucn though. If things don't start to turn around next week and see some improvement may have to take more time off. I just can't aford to do that at this point.
I did 25 min on the bowflex with some upper body work and some crunches. Has anybody seen my legs, I think they have taken a vacation. |

| I was not sure how things would go this morn for my long run as to the calf problem I have been dealing with the pas month. So I just took each mile as it came and evaluated at the end to see how things were feeling, went from there. I went up over harry's hill, then up to the round about top of woodland hills rd. Then headed over to loafer canyon rd, and down to the canal rd to home. For the most part I did ok, had dead legs the last three miles do to the less training the past month. I know that will get better if I can just stay consistant with my training. I will see what monday brings and go from there, Oh, I did see lots of deer this morn, a real nice four point coming down loafer canyon rd. He was right out in the middle of the rd with four doe. Look liked a lucky buck to me. They were only about twenty yrds from me, pretty cool. |

| Nice run today, temp was 96 at 4 pm this afternoon. I ran up to the top of the trail above the golf course today, nice and shadedy in spots which help keep some of the heat stroke at a min. I was also able to put some time on the bowflex 25min, Upper body and some crunches with leg lifts. |

My calf today was real whack and yesterday it did good. Go figure, I will not run tomorrow or friday, give it a rest and see what sat morn brings. Shucks I can't afford this at this point in the marathon training. |

| The first three miles of my long run was brutal today, Dead legs and the calf was a bother. Almost bagged it for the day, I hung in there until the bas of harrys hill and it seemed to get better the further I went. So I stayed with it and got in just over 15 which was good considering how things where feeling at the begining. It was a great run and enyoyed it. See what next week brings? |

| Nice run today, I ran up to the trail head above the golf course. Kind of on the warm side, 90 which got the sweat glands going good today, stayed at a nice easy pace as the legs are kind of whack from sat longer run. But on the other hand they were surpriseingly did well. I did not have the real whack feeling that has been a bother the last few weeks. So maybe things are on the up swing? I also was able to get in about 25 min on the bowflex and ended with some crunches. |

I ran along the river trail today where thier would be some shade, kind of on the warm side but not as hot as yesterday. My calf was a bother the whole run today, it is crazy how it did feel so good yesterday and today it was all I could do to run. I did forget to ice after yesterdays run, that might have been the prob. I have to remember to ice everyday from here on out.
I did 25 min on the bowflex with upper body training today and ended with some crunches. For the next few days I will be running in Vegas, I will have to get out before the sunor it will be trouble. |

| Nice run this morning, I am in Vegas this morn was able to get out at 6:30 am and it was very warm. The heat here is brutal. We stuck with it though and it was a very good run. My daughter lives on the north west side up next to the mountains. So anywhere you run you are going up hill or down, so was able to get in alot of hill work today. I did ice my left calf alot yesterday and that seems to make a difference the next days run. Today the calf was not so much an issue. I will take tomorrow off and get on the road by 5 am sat morn and beat most of the intense heat. Should be a fun long run. |

| Today I did a little out and back past little gu corner, my legs were a bit on the whack side from the long run on sat and all the hills. My calf seems to be doing better each week and it is my hope that by SGM it will not even be an issue. I did 25 min on the bowflex, upper body and some crunches. |

I was up and out the door at 5 am this morn, stayed dark until I made the top of harry's hill. I do not like the fact that the days are getting shorter and in a few months colder. I could be good with San Diego weather all the time and be happy as a pig in mud. I am glad that I had my head lamp to help me see until the light came, it is spooky runing across the river bottoms in the dark. i did see some deer in the middle of the road going across, thier eyes were bright in the light of the head lamp.
My legs did real good today, my injury was not an issue and was feeling good as I have ever felt. So I hope the injury is behind me now and does not return. Jusy want to stay in good shape for SGM and have a great experiance. Been a good week of training, looking forward to the next couple of weeks. |
