Great race! I ran the best way I could with my calf/leg injury. I probably ran the best I ever have mentally because my left calf is still messed up.  My team was out of shape or injured so we did better than expected. We beat my Dad's team in the last seconds.

Jogged and did some 400s but not really fast. Its hard for me to be patient and not run when I probably shouldn't. 

I was smart enough to stay away from running the speed stuff. I still need more time to rest my calf. I did do some biking that seemed more beneficial. 

Ran from Dana Point to San Clemente pier. Everything felt fine until about 4 1/2 miles into the run but then my calf had the same problems. Beautiful run close to the beach though. 

I went mountain biking with my Dad but his bike got a flat. So we kind of took turns running and biking. 

Jogged while some of the XC team did a work out. I could barely tolerate jogging with my dumb calf. 

I didn't feel as much pain on my run today.  We ran up past Tuacahn and snuck into Snow Canyon State Park. I ran mainly with Luke. I showed some progress. Now I just need to avoid doing anything stupid before saturdays race. 

It was a great race considering how injured I am.  Not only did I have calf problems I now have a left foot problem.  Team Deckinator won with a score of 42.  We did Angels Landing after. 

Ran out to Dino Cliffs with some of the team.  I probably shouldn't be running at all but I get really bored. 

Ran 3 miles coming down from the Eagle Crag hike. I probably shouldn't have but everyone I went on the hike was so I followed. My calf problem is almost non-existent. Now I think I have a stress fracture in my foot. Why can't I get a break?
