AM: 16 miles with 6 miles at marathon pace effort.

PM: foam rolling + 1 hr. Pool run 

It was raining which put me in a bad mood. Not so much the rain but the fact that my shoes were soaked and heavy by half way through. I turned the watch to the time face for the pick-up portion and went by feel at marathon pace for the last 6 miles. Happy to see I was able to run pretty well even with heavy shoes. I'm in good shape

Got it done. I'm getting tired from the accumulated fatigue and stress at work. Going to finally rest up a bit during the end of the week as I'm in need of a down week and I have a race Sunday. 5:08,3:40,3:39,2:24,2:22

AM: 5 miles

woke up this morning feeling tired. I've been working later and not taking lunch breaks (I still eat) to get my work done since I have so much to do at work. It's starting to affect me because I'm pretty tired. I considered not running at all today. I need to take it easy and allow my body to recover.

Decided not to run this afternoon as I was swamped at work. Calf also has a slight twinge i need to be cautious about. For all my efforts at preventing injury, a little too much stress and not enough recovery can get you every time. Just gotta be careful

Today was my "comp" day from work since I worked two other events. I had to use it by the end of the week and since I had a doctor's appt I figured I would. The crappy thing is we had a big deadline today so I spent last night working and all day working until 2:00 today then I went to th doc's. 

I'm really tired and stressed from the volume of work lately and my legs are tired from the months of 90+ MPW with workouts. I felt like I needed a rest or risk that tingle in my calf blowing up and wasting my entire spring season. I'm taking a down week the rest of the week.  No exercise today.

windy again, but feeling much better. Calf is 90% better than Wednesday. I think I nipped this one in the bud. Still really busy and doing some work at home today. Racing a 10K tomorrow. Feeling weird after taking a day off and running so light the last few days.
