Pilates then 2 mile TM walk.  Calf feeling a lot better this morning.  Now I'm heading to PT before work to see if Brittany can work any magic.

Ouch! She really worked over my calf and it is reallly sore now even to walk.  Hopefully it will feel much better tomorrow morning and I'll be back to running on it again soon.

My new stationary bike is supposed to arrive today! I hope I love it.

1 mile walking on TM, then lower body weights, then core.

My calf feels much better this morning!! I won't know until I try and run on it, but I really think my PT work yesterday helped.

I played with my new stationary bike tonight. I really like the feel of it. It is just like riding a road bike. I'm still trying to figure out how to use the app with it though and how to use it with Zwift. I probably road for about 30 minutes. 

Pilates, then some ladder work to get my claves warmed up, then 2 mile TM run building speed so that at the end I was running sub 7 minute pace.  My claf did really well.  It felt strong like I could push off fully and only had the slightest of discomfort.  No the test will be how it feels later in the day.

30 minutes on the indoor bike while watching the Astros win and throw a combined no hitter in the World Series. 

1 easy TM mile starting slow then building speed. Then 10 minutes jump rope. 
Calf felt perfect!

Pilates. Core. Lower body. 1mile TM finishing fast. 
 

calf not bothering me when running but a little bit tight just sitting around. I went to PT and had some more work done with needling. I think I'm going to be good to go for the marathon next week. 

It was a beautiful morning for a run, low 50s, sunny and calm. Hopefully we get perfect weather for race day next week although I'm almost never that lucky. 
I started out running uphill to the top of Cherry Tree for 6 miles at an easy pace. My legs felt really good. Then right at the top I felt a little twinge in my left calf, the opposite one that was bothering me so I stretched a bit before running down. I was trying to run mp but I ended up being 15 seconds per mile too fast. 7:49 pace running downhill just feels so slow and too easy but I know I need to be disciplined and not go too fast on race day or I'll fall apart at the end. Anyways those last 6 downhill were easy but I did feel a little tightness in my calf as it went on. Now late in the day it is sore but not terribly so. I'm going to have to be very careful this week so that it is good to go on race day.
