Step by step, mile by mile

Finally. I was ready to let every profane word I learned in public school fly the second I felt the calf pain, but unfortuanetly I didn't get the chance to. 4 miles at 6:28 pace but I swear I wasn't pushing it. Seems like I'll have to get my runs in before 10AM or after 5PM because I went at 2 and the humidity was brutal. 

4 in the morning with the last 1000m in 3:28, hopefully that's enough for me to be content doing the rest of this week's mileage easy

also happy birthday to my main man kenny the apache!! been running with that guy since 2013 and he’s a great running partner and one of the, if not the, nicest runners i’ve ever met, and i’m sure anyone that’s met him would say the same. he’s gonna go sub 2:50 in the next year mark my words fastrunningblog

ran a mile and stopped because I thought i felt calf pain, so I went to the gym and had a really good workout. I stretched after, and I tried some deep calf stretches and didn't feel anything, then ran to my car and felt really good, so maybe I imagined it, or maybe it wasn't a strain and just needed to be stretched out. guess we'll see tomorrow

Another 4 in the morning. I think a couple of things might have been affecting the calf, one is I've been opting for a uneven and rocky, but fast, course instead of my normal Sandy Rd lately since driving out to Sandy and back means 30 miles of gas used, but I think it puts more strain on the calves(and thinking back to it I think the calf strain originated stepping wrong in a rockier area) which is fine when I'm healthy but right now Sandy is the easier route on the legs. I ran there today and felt better, I could still feel it at the end though. Each time I run 4 miles I feel a bit better but being as the calf pain is still there, albeit barely, so I think I need a few more days off. I have many choice words about it and none of them are blog-friendly but I'd say two weeks of (choice word) training are okay if it means I can get good training in after so I'm just gonna end the post here. See ya in a few

10 minute jog. As hard as it is to not eat pizza or sweet stuff, I've felt pretty good these past few days eating the right vegan way

short jog with strides. legs felt good after the strides
