6 very easy trail miles...avg HR 130

Calf did not tighten up or cause any problems, but I could tell it wasn't 100% and had I tried to run harder, I would have probably had some issues.

Same cross training workout as Tuesday but today I would say my calf felt 100%. Now to see how it feels running tomorrow.

Not sure what to expect this morning with my calf on the mend for the last week and a half, but I felt like it was close to 100% yesterday doing cross training so I headed out with Blake this morning for a long run.

The first 16 miles we kept it nice and easy keeping my HR in the 130s then we dropped to mp for the last 4 miles doing those at 7:05 pace.  I felt great.  That was the most energy I've had on a long run in a long time and my calf gave me no problems.  I also did this run on only water and the last time I ate was yesterday's dinner around 5:30.  I've been training my body to burn fat for fuel and I think it is working really well.

9 trails miles this morning which was more of an exploration adventure than a run. There was a lot of power hiking and some rock climbing. It took 2 hours to do the 9 miles. I kept my HR in the low 130s for most of it.
