Nice 6 this morning. I felt really good through the whole run even though my calf still seems to be giving me some guff. I hope this isn't a precursor to a more serious injury. Hopefully it'll work itself out soon.
Warmed up this morning with a nice mile jog then went straight into my 4x1600m work out with 800m recovery jogs. Splits were as follows. Mile 1 5:38. Mile 2 5:37. Mile 3 5:36. Mile 4 5:33. I felt pretty good today. I put a heating pad on my calf for about a half hour last night and that made a world of difference. It wasn't really even that tight this morning so that's exciting.
Easy 6 today. Usually I take a rest day on Thursdays, but today I went and ran 6 miles with my sister who's on the one of the local high school's XC team. It was fun to run with her and help push her a long.
Today was one of those runs that reminded me why I love running so much. I went out for a nice 8 miles (Cross Hollows). It was just a real pretty run. There was a nice rain during the first 2 miles which made it pretty fun. I felt super strong during the entire run also which was great. I really am grateful to be able to be healthy enough to get out and run when I want.
Nice 11 today. It's been a couple weeks since I've ran a double digit day. It felt pretty good to go for a long one. Right now my weekly mileage is right where I want it.
