62F, 100%, foggy. 7:22 AP. 18 in the early morning at a medium pace, picking it up slowly to finish with a GMP mile. I think I re-aggravated my right calf on Friday doing those sprints, and I could feel it for most of this run but it wasn't too bad. I have no plans to run fast for a few days anyway. Saw an armadillo today, the national small mammal of Texas.

I tried to run this morning, but my right calf is jacked up. It's tender and seems swollen too. Probably going to be at least a few days off for this one, if not more.

Tested out the calf today on the treadmills at the gym at work. I am using my get-out-of-jail-free card (heavy doses of vitamin I) but could not feel any discomfort. I kept increasing the pace to test it at different speeds, too. Ended up with about 3 miles at GMP or better by the time the TM shut down at the 1-hour mark. Still going to use a bit of discretion this next week or so, though. Gotta get to the starting line before I can get to the finish line...

43F, 7:36 AP. Got in a few extra miles - Danielle is going out of town this weekend and I am single dad again, so maybe some 4-mile TM runs at the most on Saturday and Sunday. Possible fast finish long run on Monday (22 w last 5 @ MP), we'll see...
