I aim to be in the best shape of my life, physically and emotionaly.  I want to compete more, 5K, 10K, half and full marathons.

I am still very sore from my friday downhill run. Clyde wanted me to do tempo, I struggled to maintain a 7:55 pace. I know I can do better. but thats what happened today.

Did a very easy 6 miles with Duckett. around the Summit loop. this was the first time I went counterclockwise.  I actually really like that way.

My left calf is STILL sore, I could not and can not seem to work it out. It is is hindering me, consuming my thoughts while I run. I will stretch more, and maybe go get "the stick" from sgrc. I did another 6 miles today, Clyde wants me being more consistent, so here I am. I ran faster today than yesterday, I guess its an improvement and thats always good. Clyde also wants me getting faster each mile rather than going out fast. so today my splits are:

1 - 8:35

2 - 8:21

3 - 8:16

4 - 8:12

5 - 8:32

6 - 9:11

 

I really slowed the last mile and half. my calf was cramping a bit.   I am also still dealing with my throat, I had my tonsils taken out about 7 weeks ago and its a learning curve with breathing again.  anyway, overall I felt good.
