When I awoke this morn my leg was really sore around the calf and it was very uncomfortable to walk on. By the time I got off work it was feeling much better and started to loosen up. So I decided to try a run but my calf was not ready still hurt to push off so I opted to go for a 45 min bike ride. Got to try and keep the cardio  up some how. I have a Doc's Appt. on Friday morn to have it looked at. I finished today's workout with 25 min on Bpwflex upper body and 200 crunches.

My calf felt a lot better walking today, I tried to run but it would not let me. I wish I knew what was going on. I rode my bike for an hour and then did 30 min on the eliptical. I am trying to do what I can to keep my fitness up. It will be interesting to see what the Doc says on Friday morn.

My calf felt good today so I decided to try a small easy run. The pain is still there after a few min. of running. It has been a month now and I am starting to get a little concerned . Not sure what to expect at the Doc's tomorrow. I hope he can help me past this injury quick, SGM is a month from sat. May not be able to do it this year. Cross my fingers and toes.

My calf is still not doing well, so I am back on the bike this morn. I did about 20 miles and felt like I had a good workout today, did lots of hills to get the cardio up and worked on my leg strength. I finished today's workout with 200 crunches and 25 min on Bowflex working on upper body.

I have taken the last eight days off due to injury to my left calf. I have been seeing a sports Doc and it seems to be helping. I did an easy run this morn to test things out. My calf did pretty good a little tightness to begin with but it lossened up quickly. I will take tomorrow off and get back to my training schedule if everything feels good. St. George is three weeks away, and I hope My calf will hold up. It felt so good to be out running this morn, the week off helped me realize just how much I love this sport. It was a very spiritual experiance . I think a Higher Power wanted me to apprreciate that blessing in my life.

Kind of a disappointing run my calf felt good on sat run but it was a bother today. Not sure what to do I cannot afford another week off, I'm really going to suffer in the marathon in a few weeks. Oh well life goes on.
