3 miles easy today. Calf didn't feel too bad, but I don't think I would want to go fast on it yet. I think I will take this week and log as many slow miles as my calf will allow. Hopefully it will be back and feeling 100% by next week and then I can finish my last 4 weeks of my marathon plan.

Sounds like a good plan! Get some stretching and blackroll-training to fix it!

Oh dang, Rhett! I can't believe you're having calf issues again. I haven't read anyone's blogs for some time now, but I'm going to do my best to keep up from now on. I hope the slow running helps your calf.

The other day I woke up with some type of injury that I can definitely feel when running and walking. The pain is originating in my left buttock and feels like it's shooting pain down my hammie. I have an appointment in the early afternoon today to have it checked out.

Thanks guys. It's the exact same thing that I have been dealing with the last few years. Every time I start getting fast again it happens. I thought that with my strict adherence to recovery days this time around I would be OK, but it just popped up again and while I was warming up, not even when I was running fast at all. Oh well, the good news is I have learned that if I just give it a little time it goes away and I'm still far enough out from my marathon, that I think I'll be fine.

That's a good attitude to have. You're right, still plenty of time to heal up.
