Today I start getting serious about my UVM training. I think my calf is finally 100%. Unfortunately my running has seriously suffered over the last couple months with this stupid calf thing. Since I have such a short time to get ready for the marathon, I've decided to implement my 3 day a week running plan that I did for Boston 2010. This allows me to run hard on the days I run, and to cross train really hard the other days to boost my cardiovascular fitness. Therefore my first day of my new marathon training plan today did not include any running. I swam this morning and I'll probably do some core work and jump rope tonight.

16 x 200 m starting each interval on the five minute mark. I probably averaged just under 3:40 per 200m. Total swim- 2 miles

jumping exercises making sure calf felt 100% and it did and some core work totaling about 20 minutes while watching the lame NCAA Championship game. I did have Kentucky winning it all in my bracket though. :)

I got up and went cycling this morning. It was an amazingly beautiful morning riding along the lake with the sun coming up. I rode for 1 hour 15 minutes and averaged 18.5 mph. After work today I'm actually going to run. I hope it goes well.

1.5 mile warm up Then ran with Erika. She was doing mile repeats with 800 m recovery: 6:55, 6:56, 6:46 1. 5 mile cool down It was a good run for my first run in a while. My calf felt fine. Let's hope it stays that way.

2 mile swim. I thought about doing a 3rd but then decided to call it a day.

Calf raises

30 minutes free form elliptical to get the calf warmed up really well.

5 miles on TM at 8 minute pace. My calf didn't bother me as far as any discomfort goes, but I can tell it isn't at full power yet. I was very careful and did not push hard at all. It felt amazing to run again though without any pain.

Core work
