It's just that simple

Treadmill - 27:52

This one hurt. I was hoping an easy run would clear out some of the crap from my legs. I think this might be the worst my legs have ever felt after a race. Quads, calves and ankles are the worst off. Hopefully I can run easy the rest of the week (goal: 50 miles) and then get in a long run by next Sunday.

Easy stretching and core work.

Ann Morrison Park - 32+

Ran with Mat from his house and around the park. Second most painful run of my life, after yesterday. Calves just destroyed. Great day outside, though.

Track practice + greenbelt - 49+

Ran a little under 20 minutes with the kids at practice, including 4 x 2 min pickups. After practice, I ran for about 30 minutes with Mat on the dirt section of greenbelt off Parkcenter. Feeling a little bit better today. Still very painful in the calves.

Canals - 12+

Jogged a warmup with Leo. Was going to do another 30-40 minutes but my calves were shot. I'll just take anothe day or two easy or off then I should be back at it again. I have less than 6 weeks to the marathon so this will be a little down time and then I'll put in 4 reallly good weeks.

Weights - 20 minutes

PMI: Track practice

I did a little workout with the junior high team: 500, 300, 3 x 400 @ about 75 pace. It was windy but a warm day and the kids worked out fairly hard.

PMII: Greenbelt - 45:04

Ran after watching the high school meet at BSU. There were some deep 1600s this evening. Kept the run steady, but relaxed. Calves hurt, but definitely manageable.

A.M. - Canal Banks - 12+

Very slow with Leo

P.M. - Greenbelt - 59:11

Nice run on a gorgeous day. Watched the YMCA track meet at BSU most of the day, then did some miles from the stadium on to the dirt section toward Barber Park. Timed a few of the miles and had 3 in the 6:20's which felt pretty easy. Legs doing quite a bit better.

Weights, core and stretching - 20 minutes
