Today I really just didn't feel like moving much. I didn't feel tired, I just didn't feel like going very fast. The only time we started to speed up at all my calf gave a slight twinge and we slowed back down. Total time for 6 miles 50:57. I will run this afternoon with the Springville Cross Country team as well.

Everything was pretty much the same as yesterday. I ran with Sasha and Derek and finished up with a total time of 1:18:53 for 10 miles. Nothing spectacular to report. My leg felt fine while running. It did feel somewhat odd at the beginning of the run, almost as if I was getting a cramp in the muscle but slightly different. The feeling went away after about 1 minute.

Good run today. I did feel some lingering tightness in the leg, but it was no worse than it has felt recently and might even have been better. I think that I will keep on the 10 mile a day plan for the next few days, but I might increase the mileage later on in the week and possibly add in a long run this Saturday. As long as my leg either stays constant in how it feels or gets better I think that I am safe. However, if it starts getting worse again I will need to keep backing off. Total time for 10 miles (maybe a little more) was 1:18:27.

My calf felt tight today, more-so than normal, but I almost feel like it is a good thing. This is because I was able to massage it out, and the tightness didn't feel like it extended to put stress on the bone like it has felt recently. Surge - 451.35 Ohana Racer - 248.1 Speedstar - 288.05
