I have been on the injured reserve list for a few days, my left calf muscel has been giving me some issues. I did get out and run today after fours days of rest, as I started out on my run the old calfer was sore. But I stuck with it and by mile 3 it started to loosen up. The 2nd half of my run was alot nicer almost no discomfort in the calf. We will see what tomorrow will bring, I did do 25 min of Bowflex on upper body and 200 crunches. I'm trying some DSMO on the calf, they use it on Horses. Supposed to be a miricale  ointment we will see how it does. Maybe I will feel like a gallop tomorrow.

At the  of my run today the left calf was still whack, it took about 3 miles before it would loosen up and felt like my old self. It actually feels pretty good right now so we will see what tomorrow brings. I did 25 min of Bowflex upper body and 200 crunches.

My calf was a little more bothersome today not sure why. My left leg kept having spasams through the entire run it was not fun today. I will keep working with what I can do and go from there. See ya tomorrow.

I'm still having problems with my left calf but it was not as bad today.  I only had one tremor episode on this run not like yesterdays where it felt like my leg was going to give out any moment. It actually felt a little bit stronger today. I will take tomorrow off and hopefully be able to do a long run sat. I did 25 min of Bowflex and finished with 200 crunches.

Was no sure how the long run would go today after fighting a bit of and injury for the past couple of weeks. I did a mile warm up around my neighborhood to see how it feels and felt no worse than the past week so I headed off into the river bottoms and out over Harry's Hill into Salem. Ran into my Bro Clay and we spent most of the training today together it was a fun morning. Was not planing on doing 18 plus but I felt ok at the end and decided to push a few more miles. St. George Marathon is creepin up fast and I hope I will be ready and injury free by then. Considering the injury of the past few weeks this has been a pretty good week of training.
