Easy Miles	Threshold Miles	Marathon Pace Miles	Track speed mileage	Hill mileage	Total
9.00	0.00	0.00	0.00	0.00	9.00

Got out and ran early. Beautiful morning. First two miles were pretty easy. Left calf started hurting a bit after downhill at 2 miles. But then it eased up. I was trying to stay below 8:00 pace and get close to 7:30 pace average if I could. Ran really well through 7.75 miles and averaging 7:45 pace. But then calf flared up and had to walk the rest of the way (3.25 miles). I'm counting it as 9 miles of running.

Not sure what to do about this calf. Will probably take it easy the next couple days and go from there.

Steve, thanks for your comments! I did not realize we saw you at Des News. I was on the death march at that point, lol. What time are you shooting for at STG?

Yeah, I didn't want to try to introduce myself while you were in the final miles of the marathon! :)

I'm shooting for 3:10 at STG, as long as I can be healthy for it. How about you?

Steve, I need a 3:15 for my BQ. So, I am guessing we will be going for close to the same time.

Steve, have you tried heel raises to strengthen you calves? one foot at a time, hold five seconds, 3 x 15 reps

all these exercises will help alot:

that, and I recommend buying a pair of new balance 790s, they are incredible, light, low profile, flexible, low heel. lose all those shoes with built up heels. the pegasus is one of the worst shoes in the world from what I have heard. But that's just my opinion, as well as some others in the minimalist camp I have joined... :-)
