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."

First run since Wed.  The calf didn't hurt as bad as it did before the days off, but it still felt weird.  So I only did 3 miles.  And my right shin is still hurting.  I notice it more now that the calf pain is lessened.  I noticed when the calf was hurting really bad, it made the shin pain less noticeable.

Was only going to do 5 miles on this second day back from injury, but I made my loop too big and ended up doing a little over 7 mile.  The calf and shin were a little sore the first couple miles, but the calf is definitely better than last week.  But from mile 3 on, my legs just felt fatigued.  This after resting half of last week.  I don't get that.  The pace for the 7 miles was 11 min./mile.  I haven't run that slow in years.  I hope I'm just off because of the rest and that if I keep running short runs this week, I can get my rhythm back before Sunday.

Not a great run for my last pre-marathon run.  Just felt sluggish and slow.  Had planned to run a couple tomorrow, but I think it's better to just rest. 

Oh well, I'll hold my head up because I trained really smartly and consistently and am proud of that.
