Recovery Run. My calf (the left one, not the one I "tweeked") hurt to the touch and I thought there was no way it would make it. Much to my surprise, it didn't hurt at all, just a little tightness towards the end.  Glad I was able to get the miles in.

I planned on doing 1 x 1600 and 8 x 400 on the track, but 800 meters into my workout a man came and told me I had to leave because they were locking the gates of the track.  I got reallllly frustrated but found a neighborhood nearby and did another 800 (estimated) and then did 8 x 85 second intervals. All in all it turned out pretty well.

I saw a goose with a broken leg at the park where I warmed up, so I plan on calling animal control tomorrow to help the poor guy out :(

4 mile warm up, 4 mile tempo (first mile 6:58 down to last mile 6:38), 4 mile cool down

Got attacked... or at least highly threatened... by a bird during my half mile walk after my run.  I thought I was going to have to hit the bird, which would have made me feel bad, but luckily a car went by and distracted it. Crazy!

Pretty well-paced run.  Calf pain pretty bad at mile 2, I think it's because I started off at a fairly quick pace, and my calves need a 9 minute mile (or 3) before they can get into it.  Pain was much more dull by mile 4.  

Got my stick in the mail! Hope it helps.  

Off to Greece tomorrow!! Hopefully I'll be able to find somewhere and somewhen to run.
