I did an easy run on the river trail today. legs are a bit whack from sat longer run. But they are ok, the calf is still a little bit on the whack side as will. I think I do feel some improvement though. I will continue to go easy this week and hope that next week things will have setteled down. I did 25 min on the bowflex today and some crunches, and leg lifts.

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 legs today are real whack, no energy  I can't believe how kaput I feel. My traing for the past month has just not be going the way I would like. 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?
