Total Distance

13.50

6.5 miles in the a.m

7 miles this evening

After taking 3 days off I was feeling recovered and ready to roll...So I go out this morning and two miles into it my calves are hurting so bad you would have thought I had run Salt Lake and not Boston. I've never hurt this bad for this long so I decided to go get a rub down for a fee. The guy didn't do the best job but by the time I ran in the evening I felt 10 times better and was less worried about being injured. This had really been out of my comfort zone. Like I said I've never hurt that bad that long. Maybe it's a good thing or sign of improvement to have pushed it hard enough to really need to recover.

Anyways hope to log some good miles this week-at least 80- as it is the only solid week I have between next weeks half marathon in Hurricane.

Clyde - ease off a bit. Do not cram for a race. If you are not feeling good, skipping the Hurricane half is not a bad idea.

Nice write up in the paper. I'll have to have you autograph mine. Sorry to hear the calves are still bothering you. I'm getting excited for the Hurricane Half and real nervous for the Ogden Marathon. Are you running the 10K race this Saturday? I think Bill is, but I'm looking to do a 15 to 20 mile run.

That's a good sign that the evening run went well. I think the two runs a day are the key. I felt much better on my short evening run then on my afternoon run. Today I'm running over to sign up for the St. George. I am stoked!
