3 miles on TM at 2% incline, 8:00/mile

32 minutes arc trainer

I ran without any calf complications. Yea! Lets see how it feel tomorrow.

1 mile on TM at 1% incline-- 8:00, just to see how my calf was after last nights run.  No discomfort this morning. :)

30 minutes speed intervals on Stair Mill

TM 1.5% incline

6 miles first at 8 min/mile and then increased 0.1 mph each mile so the last mile was at 7:30 min/mile.

No calf issues!

I finally felt like a runner again tonight for the first time since I injured my calf the day before Thanksgiving.

14 minutes speed intervals on the stair mill.

2 miles TM 1% incline at 8 min miles

Feeling good. Trying to build my running back up so I'm continuting to supplement with cross training.

30 minutes running the stairmill- 1 minute walking/ 1 minute running

2 miles on TM 1% incline 8 min/mile

Tomorrow I will try a longer run for the true test of my calf.

10 miles on a hilly run through SARA park. AP 7:19

I didn't plan on running that fast. I was just running what felt comfortable and it turned out that way. The good news is I finished the 10 mile run without my calf acting up.

 I now have 7 weeks to train for my marathon. My cross training has obviously helped maintain my cardiovascular fitness or I wouldn't have been able to do 10 miles that fast today, but how do I get my legs ready for the 26.2 mile pounding in such a short time?
