Walking around and going up and down my stairs and everything was feeling 100% over the weekend, so I went to the gym with the intention on doing a tempo run.  I started the run easy at 7:30 and quickly realized that my calfs are still not 100% for running, so I just kept it at 7:30 for 8 miles (1 hour) on TM 1% incline.  I'll try again on Wednesday, but it may be next week before I get to run fast again.  :-(

The rest of the week, I'll be off my normal schedule since Doone is heading to women's conference tomorrow morning and won't be back until Sunday.  I'll have to try and get in some exercise while being a "single dad" for a few days.  I don't know how single parents survive.  When ever I have the kids for a few days by myself it wears me out big time.

I took the kids to the gym after work so I could get in some miles.  I planned on getting in 8 miles.  I started off easy (7:30) and everything was feeling good, so I was contemplating throwing in a couple faster miles at (6:30), but after a couple miles, my calves started tightening up a liittle.  I decided I'd just keep it at 7:30, but still do 8 miles.  But all of the sudden both my calves really tightened up around the 5.5 mile mark.  Being that Scott just tore his calf muscle yesterday, I was being extra cautious and decided to stop my run there and live to run another day.   I got on the stationary bike for 10 minutes and then called it a night. 

Total run 5.5 miles,  TM 1%,  AP 7:30

SpeedStar 2 Miles: 5.50

I had a break in my schedule so I snuck off to the gym for a TM 1 %  run.  My calves felt good finally. 

2 miles at 7:30

4 miles at 6:30

2 miles at 7:30

Felt great to run fast again.  I'm going to start calling 6:30 my mp even though it's not.  By training at a 6:40 mp for Boston I think I really helped me PR there.  I figure it's mostly mental, so from now on MP is 6:30 for my training purposes.

Total run 8 miles,  56:00,  AP 7:00
