Today should have been a 30 minute tempo run.  After a mile warm up at 9:13 I upped the pace to 8:20 almost instantly my left calf started to hurt STINK!!!!! I went back to 9:13 and finished the miles.  I am hoping it hurt because I was on my rickity old treadmill. It did hurt on Wednesdays or Saturdays runs so I am not sure where the pain is coming from.

Only four easy miles again!  I was heading out the door to run when my son came over with my grandson.  I got in a quick 4 miles while he slept but that was all.  Calf still hurt but started to feel better near the end.  I want to get in one good run before Ogden...Tomorrow I need to go to traffic court (forgot to register my car with all the Boston prep.)  I think I might just pay the full fine so I can go to spin.  Is a spin class really worth 50-75 dollars?  Can you believe my answer is yes!

6 miles 3% decline 1 mile at 9:13 3.5 miles at 8:57 .5 at 8:34 .3 at 8:13 .2 at 6:40  Form really felt best at higher speeds.  The 6:40 was really hard I need to see if I could hold that for a full 400 meters but it is not looking good.  Maybe after Ogden.

Spin - REALLY hard class!  Race day class with no breaks 50 minutes of totally rocking it out.  I felt light headed twice but concentrated on my breathing and I was OK.  I can still feel it in my hips but that is a good thing I think.

6 miles 9% resistance in 42:23  I think this is a new record speed, I am not sure why I was so fast today!

Lifted for abs and back today.

Yoga - So hard!  I cant even explain what we did but my arms are going to be sore for days!

Walked 3.3 miles with my husband and then ran a few more.  I was wondering if walking is good cross training.  I felt it much more in my hips and glutes, which is where I feel I am the weakest. Do you think it would be helpful if I walked three miles with my husband everyday in addition to my St. George training?
