The good old Payson canyon run this morning with the group and I was worried about my calf so I tried not to push the pace but I did want a few sub 8 minute miles and I was able to do that.  About half way down I started to feel the old calf but my PT told me to try running on the opposite side of the road if it feels like it's flaring up and see if that helps, so I did and it did seem to help. The last mile or so my legs were feeling it but I was able to run the last mile pretty good and my calf seemed to hold up, its not 100% yet but it is almost there. My average pace for the run was 8:14 with a total time of 1:31:22, after the run I did my lower body weight training; one legged squats, regular squats, one legged raises and then calf raises. It was a pretty good day and I was glad that I was able to get her all done, even though it wasn't my fastest time down the canyon it was still pretty good considering the calf and everything.

See ya tomorrow.
