Nike+: 3.54 miles Adjusted: 3.22 miles
Today was a painful and slow day. If I were to guess, I would theorize that yesterday's extra distance along with the inclusion of several hills worked my left calf over really well. As a result it complained quite painfully at the start of today's jog. In 30 minutes I managed only about 2.35 mi which would be an average pace of 12'46"/mi. Teresa actually lapped me today but there was no way I was going to push the pace and do something stupid to my calf out of pride. Her pace is always faster than mine on good days and today was NOT a good day.
Tomorrow we load up and spend 7 hours driving to Kansas City so I doubt that I will find time to run or feel like it once we reach the hotel. I will play it by feel and accept it as an off day at a good time to rest the calf if that happens. Weather was nice: 61F, dry, sunny with wind S @ 15-20mph.
