12 miles. 
6 slow up then 6 at tempo effort down AP 6:50. 
Considering I ran a hard 23 mile run 2 days ago I was pleasantly surprised how well this run went and how good my legs felt.

Pilates.  Core.  10 minutes jump rope.  Lower body weights.  1 mile weighted vest TM walk.

My body needed a good recovery day from running.  Hopefully I will be feeling strong tomorrow morning.

After 1 mile warm up the plan was to do 8 x 1200 m with 400 m recovery. During my second recovery I started to feel something a bit off in my right calf so I stretched it a bit and continued on. It didn't seem to bother me much while running the repeats but during the recovery laps I was feeling it a tiny bit. I finished my seventh feeling really good effort wise and began my recovery lap and the niggle in the right calf felt more pronounced. I'm sure I could have done my 8th 1200 as planned but I decided the risk wasn't worth the benefit and ended my run after that recovery lap for a total of 8 miles. 
 

Now that I'm writing this about an hour after finishing my calf seems fine. Hopefully it was nothing and I will be able to continue on with the planned workouts for the rest of the week. Tomorrow I already had planned for a cross training day so I won't know until Friday how the calf is doing.

My body is tired from the hard push I've given the last few weeks and I want to be sure my calf is fine, so I slept in this morning and did a 30 minte pilates workout focusing on glutes and abs.  It fet good to sleep a little extra.  Hopefully I'm feeling rejuvenated tomorrow and my calf is feeling close to 100%.

Lower body, core, 2 mile weighted vest walk, and sat in hot tub.

Calf feels pretty good.  I'm giving it on more days rest.

5 miles on hotel TM.  We're in Yuma for Lane's regional swim meet.

Unfortunately I had to stop at 5 miles because my calf started tightening up.  Darn calf!
