My legs are still dead from sat long run and my calf is still very bothersome. So we stayed on the slow side of training. Running is hard to get excited about when your injured. But we battled through the run today. I did do 25 min of Bowflex on my upper body, and finished with 200 crunches.

My calf left calf is in bad shape today, usually after a couple of miles it would loosen up but not today. It was a pain through out the run today and was all I could do to just finish, it just will not give in. this is week three of my injury and running is not a lot of fun right now. I will try and hang in we will see what tomorrow brings. May have to just take some time off. I did 25 min of Bowflex on my upper body and finished with 200 crunches.

I took the last the days off from running to see if it would help my left calf to heel up. I started with a warm up mile this morn to see how things felt. The calf seem to loosen up ok so I opted to head out through the river bottoms and into Salem. I did Harrys Hill my calf seems to do ok going up hill but seems to smart a little on the down hill. When I finished my run today did alot of stretching and iced things down real good and we will see what monday brings. I missed my Brother Clay today, he is out with a groin pull and I hope is get's better quick. Hang in there Bro. If I can just get passed the next few weeks and his the taper part of my training I think I will be ok for the SGM. We will see what next week brings.
