Calf felt great this morning. I warmed up with some active stretching, did the foam roller on the calf, then a little more active stretching. I then hoped on the TM at 10 minute pace and tried to run. Unfrotunately it didn't feel quite as great running, not terrible but bad enough I didn't want to risk running on it this close to race day, so I jumped on the elliptical and took my disappointment out on it with a good hard 90 minutes of elliptical work. I think my calf feels even better after doing that. I'll cross train again tomorrow and see how the calf is doing Monday.

You and I sure have a lot of problems with our calves. Hope it feels good on race day.

Hey Dale. Good to hear from you. How have you been? It's crazy. I had a great training cycle with lots of hard and long runs with no problems and then on my first easy run of my taper my calf wigged out. ITake not too bad so I'm sure I'll be fine by race day. I'd like to get in a few runs next week though.

I'm doing ok. Trying to get back into shape. I won't lie, It's been a struggle. I'll keep plugging away.

You've had some great training for the marathon. Can't wait to read all about it.

So sorry to hear the calf was acting up again. Smart to let it rest. Here's to speedy healing.

From Rhett on Sun, Feb 22, 2015 at 10:26:05 from 66.87.69.244

Thanks Smooth. I'm pretty sure I'll be 100% here in the next couple days.
