Another week begins with a 7 mile run, very slow.    Rt. calf is locked up from Saturday, rt. knee tendonitis as well.  I don't regard either of these as very serious, just noting them in case they don't go away.  I really should go after the calf with a tennis ball, but I resist for some reason. 

So the series 10k is Saturday in Ogden, and I need to have a total run of 18.  On a scale of 1-10, how important is it that the 18 miles be run continuously?  

As a part of the marvelous holiday, I took the girls to the CROWDED rec center.  It's an okay place to visit, but I'm glad I don't live there.

I don't think it's very important to run the mileage continuously. It might even help your knee to break up the mileage a bit.

We went swimming at the rec center today. Very crowded, too.

I don't know, it seems like it would be a good idea to run it altogether since it is one of your long runs for the race....I don't know. If so, we should drive separate. I won't be able to run that far for sure. So what pace do you think is possible for this race? Is the course more difficult than the 5k?
