I decided I better go out for an easy test run this morning, so I did 2 easy miles. I was really worried at the start, but I never had any sharp pains or much pain at all in the calf. It did feel funny though. And I definitely had the feeling that if I had started running fast, something might pop. I'll say I was at 80% this morning. If I can get another 10% improvement by tomorrow morning, I should be good to go for a nice easy flat (I'm now glad they had to change the course to the flat one.) marathon. I'll just have to be really carefull that if it starts to hurt, I stop immediately. I hate taking a DNF, but it would be better than being laid up for the next few months. Anyways, I'm heading to Death Valley this afternoon. I'll report back after I get home. |
