Still resting the calf muscle. Went over to the running store this afternoon. Sunny bought some shorts and we ordered a baby jogger. I'm thinking more and more about doing the Deseret News Marathon now instead of Ogden. Sounds like Steve, Clyde and Bill are thinking of doing this marathon, so it might be fun to train for this together. My training has been decent recently, and I think after I get over this minor calf strain I will be ready to increase my mileage some in April, May and June and could really focus on a fast marathon in July. I will be out in Wisconsin for one week in June, and a second week I will be in Salt Lake all week, but should have plenty of time to train. The only week that really looks in question would be July 7-12 when I have scout camp, but I guess that would be a like two weeks before the marathon, so I would maybe be doing a mini taper anyway. Anybody have experience running Deseret News as compared to other marathons?

Just went out and tried to run 2 miles easy. I managed to walk/jog the first mile, but pretty much resorted to walking the second mile home. I wanted to test the calf and how much pain I felt and could stand. I was still favoring it quite a bit and it was throwing off my stride so I still need to take it real easy.

Good job getting out running Dustin. I think you might be pushing it a little too soon. Thursday would be better. try the elip machine!
