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."

Ugh, struggled through 7 painful miles at a slow pace.  The pain is only a 3 on a scale of 10, so I'm trying to work through it, but it's about as much as I can handle without quitting.  I'm thinking about trying acupuncture or physical therapy.

It was raining so I ran on the treadmill.  The shin hurt and I was bored, so I quit after 2 miles and got on a bike.  Then I just rode the bike for another 10 minutes and called it a day.  30 minutes of exercise is better than nothing, right?

Not healthy but still running.  Apparently, that's the best I can hope for for awhile.  I'm trying to decide if my leg situation is one of those work-through-it kind of minor injuries or one of those cautionary injuries in which I should be resting it lest I soon encounter something serious.  I don't like the results of erring in either way, so what to do?  Except for a little discomfort, it felt great to run this morning.

Yea, I had a pretty nice run.  The calf is still tight and sore, but I think it's finally getting a little better.  I wanted to do 10, told myself I should limit it to 6, and then compromised with myself and did a little over 8.  If I can do another 8 miler tomorrow without too much pain, I'll consider myself back in the saddle.  Yea, yea, yea!!!!!
