Well I went out with my little running club this afternoon, (Salem Running Club) and we ran out towards Payson, my calf and shin started hurting right off the bat so I ran with the kids for a mile and an half and then on the way back they picked it up. I was really feeling bad with my calf and shin cuz I thought I was getting better but that doesn't seem to be the case, so I kept it pretty easy on the way back and just tried to stay positive... Average pace for the run was 8:39 with my HR average at 146, total time was 26:50. After the run I decided to try the elliptical and I was able to do 35 minutes pretty much pain free, in fact the longer I went the better my leg felt, I was able to keep the RPM above 95 and I also had it clipping above 110 a few times.  I really can't figure this darn thing out. Maybe I have tendenitis in there and I just had to get it warmed up, or maybe it was the 800 mill that I took just before I got on there! All I know is it feels pretty good right now so I will see how it feels in the morning. After the run and the Elliptical I did my Upper body workout and then some push-ups, after a bad start I finished it up for a good workout and a positive conclusion.

See ya tomorrow.
