Ran down to Monarch Meadows to practice. The kids were dead after yesterday's speedwork, so Greg and I led the way on our loop up Shaggy Peak, around Butterfield Park, and back on the trail (5.15 miles). I ran back home the long way up around the Rosecrest loop. I was going into the wind and uphill for most of it and felt super slow, but actually was running about the same pace. At about the 8 mile mark my left calf started to hurt, big ole knot in it! I finished the run kind of gingerly and averaged 7:14 for the 9.5 miles. I think the calf will be sore tomorrow! Beautiful day for running today!
