Still want to qualify for Boston (3:55).

Want to qualify for the NYC Marathon by running a 1:42 half marathon.

Surf City Marathon Feb. 2018--I'm training to try to BQ.

Long-Term Running Goals:

I want to keep running marathons into my 70s.

Personal:

Keep close to Nature's heart...and break clear away, once in awhile, and climb a mountain or spend a week in the woods.  Wash your spirit clean. --John Muir

 

I stole this from Tom's blog because I really like it:

Hudson tidbit: "When it's done right, the long-term training process is like an asymptote. The line that the training process moves toward but never reaches is 'perfect training'.....while it's impossible to train perfectly, it is possible to train better and better."

Ran in the evening.  1:20 

My chronic problem in the left calf caused a lot of pain.  It's worst when I go from standing to running (such as at a traffic light); the first couple of steps are really painful before I get back into an even stride.  It doesn't hurt much when I'm not running.  :(

I had pain the entire run today.  I think the calf is finally getting worse.  I was almost limping but not quite there, so I kept going.  This is the second to last week before the marathon.  I had planned not to cut back on any of my weekday running and just shorten the long run on Saturday thereby only dropping my weekly mileage to around 60, but I may have to shorten the weekday runs to get this calf under control.  Time was the same today despite the pain: 1:33.

Rested the leg yesterday.  It killed me the first 5 miles today and then sort of eased up.  Don't know what to do....

Day 1 of self-imposed rest due to self-diagnosed (with the help of fellow bloggers) muscle strain in calf. Icing it now and several more times today. Will try not to run tomorrow too, but I'm already hating this not running with marathon 9 days away. :(

Day 2 of not running.  Been icing several times a day and taking Ibuprofen.  I am considering trying to run tomorrow.  I feel lonely because I'm without my friend, running.
