Hit the dreadmill at MAFC today for an easy 6. Actually ran for exactly an hour and got in 6.27. Had a little twinge in the left calf left over from yesterday; didn't feel any worse during the run, but didn't get better either. Might be time to take a day off tomorrow and let it rest. Liza was there and did an hour on the elliptical at a pretty good clip, so no ill effects from her 5K yesterday. Eight straight days now with a total of 56 miles; if the streak doesn't make it to nine, that's OK.
Started working on a training plan for a BQ attempt this morning, either at Top of Utah or Fox Valley. I think I'll do four weeks, see where I stand, and if things are going well, I'll go ahead and enter one of the two. Right now, I'm leaning toward TOU, largely because I think there's a better chance of cool weather there. Plus I can get a cheaper flight to SLC than O'Hare.
Back to work tomorrow after a much-needed nine days off. Oh well. Gotta pay the bills somehow, and it beats digging ditches. |

| Took last night off with this twinge in my calf. Not entirely gone today, but enough better that I thought I could test it with a little treadmill run. Did 3.5 in 31:28, and the calf seemed to loosen upas the run went on. Possibly that was because of some gait alterations I made that seemed to reduce the stress; I tried to be light on my feet. |

Did 100 laps at Altman after work, a bit of a progression run. Wound up with 8:46 average. Calf was tight at first, again loosened up. I felt tired, overall, but sucked it up and did the run anyway. I know full well you have to suck it up and train on some days you'd really rather not.
Really trying to modify my diet and get some of this weight off. More veggies, less meat, certainly less fried stuff, more water, less soda. That and the running will have to work together |
