| After my Saturday run, I spent some time playing frisbee with the kids. I ended up straining some part of my upper calf muscle on my right leg. I immediately iced it, but something's damaged. I iced and took ibuprophen since then and tried three short jogs of 2 miles each today. I can run, but I think I may be doing more damage than good. I think I'm going to take two days off with just some good walking and icing and see if I can get it to recover quickly. |

| Walking out the calf muscle. Things are feeling much better today, but with a race on Saturday, I want to give it the best chance for success. |

Happy to report that I ran 6.2m this morning at average 10min miles and the calf held up surprisingly well.
Ran 6.25 at lunch at an average pace of 7:59 and the calf surprised me again with how well it did. I'm very encouraged! |

Great progressive run this morning. Ran first five descending from a 10min pace to 8min. Then ran 7:47, 7:41, 7:35, 7:30, 7:24, 7:19, 7:13 and that final .7 at 6:40. That was the 99 minutes the treadmill gave me so I restarted it and jogged .4 to finish up 13.1. The calf felt fine. Small twinges in my left hammie, but it held up fine. I need to do more stretching and some more work with the stabilizer muscles in my calf muscles. |

| Enjoyed a good race today. The Striders Winter Racing Circuit 10k. It was a rough week of training with a calf injury from last Saturday that I feel really blessed to have recovered so quickly from. I was able to race full speed. This is a very hilly course. I ran this race two years ago and averaged 7:24. This time I averaged 7:09. I ran the 5k two weeks ago and took 20th place and 2nd in my division. This time I took 23rd place and 2nd again in my division. There were about 450 runners. Then I went skiing with Lisa and the boys. It was a fabulous day in the powder. After that I went to the gym and did 4.4 more miles on the treadmill. The the family (with the fast forward button in hand) watched Social Networking. That's an amazing story. Day off tomorrow. | | Comments(2) |
