Nice and easy. Ran around the outdoor track at the fitness center. My right calf is still having a little ache. I took Fri, Sat, Sun and Mon off to see if it would feel better.
Ha, funny. I did hear that once, but I just can't follow Scooby on this one. He is on his own with the heel thing.
I need this calf to heal up. I am down for Hobble Creek and my miles per week are horrible right now. It will be a shame to have to do somersaults all the way down the canyon.
I need to stop reading everyone's blog (and get a life) because I am starting to feel sympathy pains. My left calf is killing me and it toally cramped up while I ran today. It must have been feeling sorry for you.
And, after reading up on you, here is a question for you---what happened with your Marine Corp marathon? Is it a hard one, or did you just have a really bad day? I may need to avoid that one!
I don't know what is wrong with my calf. I have been having a very rough year with muscles. The pain is deep in the center. Going towards my heel. I try and stretch it and it doesn't ever seem to stretch. Last Thurs while on routine run my whole calf cramped up, to the point I walked .75 miles home. Oh well, this will pass and I'll be back on the roads and back on setting sites on BQ.
If you manage to get a life outside this blog thing, good for you, I am thankful someone other than me has a problem. "First step: Admit you have a problem."
As for Marine Corp. I didn't train very well, was having some knee problems (lack of training) and the coarse is hilly, and oh, there were 21,000 runners. There wasn't a time I couldn't reach out and touch someone. I used to want to run NYC, and Chicago, not anymore. That being said, oddly enough I kinda want to go back and do it again just so I can have a better time.
21,000 people?? WOW, I had not idea that many people could run at one time. I hope that set the pace thingys up at the beginning to spread people out! I guess all of those big races have that many people. I will stick with UTAH.
My husband did TOU last year in 4:22, so he would like to go redeem himself as well. BUT, I made him choose---St George or TOU, not both. This year he chose St George.
My calf totally cramped up mid-run yesterday, too. (See---sympathy pains for you.) It still hurts today, but life moves on, right? I am just getting use to always having some kind of pain.
I am running Hobble Creek. I hope it is a better course than Provo was this year, I hated it!
Hobble Creek is better! I don't know if they have changed the coarse (doubt it) but it isn't like Provo Canyon where you weave in and out of some parking lots and around some buildings for some extra tenths. It is more of a straight shot. I ran Provo last year, and wasn't really excited to go this year. And hearing the reports I'm not sad I missed. (Other than I am not in that good of shape.)
I hate the WINDING!!! That was and is my biggest pet peeve about that race. It really messes with my head and I get so slow. Maybe I can beat my time by another 6 minutes---that would be cool (and amazing and NOT LIKELY)!!!
Well, I'm sure you will have a great run. I'll have to watch for you and say Hi.
Those winding things kill me every time. I would benefit greatly to preview the race before I run it. It messes with my head in a big way!!!!
