3 Easy Miles - 30:00 - 10:00 Pace
Wasn't planning on running till Tuesday, but felt good today so I figured why not. 3 Easy miles, felt really good....it feel good just to run again. Not issues with knees, calves, lungs....or anything else. Tuesday is my next available night, I'll get another 3 or 4 in and start slowly building back up
1 Easy Mile - ???? - ????
Figured I would give the calf another try. Still in rough shape...I'll take the next two weeks off.

Tried my calf out today to see if I had a shot at running the Belle Island Race....no way.
1.00 Easy Mile - 8:19 - 8:19 Pace
4.00 Tempo Miles - 30:11 - 7:33 Pace
0.73 Easy Miles - 6:07 - 8:20 Pace
Strained my left calf this time on the cooldown part of my run. I went out way to fast on the Tempo portion, so instead of six miles at 7:45, I got 4 miles at 7:33....not good. But then on the easy run back to the car, I felt a twinge in my calf, then a bigger one, then I was stopped cause it hurt way too bad. I don't get it, maybe I ran to fast, plus it was 90 degrees out, and I wasn't super hydrated....man...am I getting old or what.
So, next weekends race seems like a longshot...either way I will still go to cheer on sis, but I would love to be involved.....Ice and rest time.

Wow it was hot today, ran after work in the blazing sun. Good workout, I am catching up to my training schedule that I fell behind due to the calf injury. I didn't get all six intervals in, but I got 5, and they were all at a good pace. Lungs were feeling a little better today. Knee felt great.
10 Miles - 1:29:00 - 8:54
Little slower than the pace I was supposed to run, but I am absolutly convinced that these treadmills run faster than running on the street. On my hilly 10 mile course, I run 8:30's, just seems like to big a differece. Anywho, it seems that the hills are what is hurting my knee for sure. Last Thursday, track workouts, no problem, Saturday, Tempo run on the treadmill, no issues, today, long run on the mill...no problems. I'll do my track workout outside and my tempo outside this week on a flat area...and see how I do.
Oh, and my lungs are still messed up, it's really tough to breath even starting out at a slow pace.

Not a great day of running, my lungs we not cooperating today, and my legs were quite tired..no doubt from jumping right back into training after three weeks off. Got the speeds I wanted, but couldn't hold if for long enouhg. Tempos are supposed to increase my muscles ability to run at a fast pace for a longer period of time...but I felt like I was just working on my lungs....not good. I think next time I will run my long run indoors, and do my tempo on a flat course outside...see hwo that does me.....still thinking the treadmill equivelent sheet I am using is setting the speed to high.

Intervals out in the hot sun today, which felt really good, even though it was pretty tough. I just jumped right back into my training schedule after the three weeks off...and it showed near the end. My lungs are still bothering me...hoping that goes away. Started a little fast on the first 1200 Interval which I'm sure didn't help...but that's par for the course for me. The second one I was more on pace, as well as 3 & 4. 4 & 5 however I wasn't even sure I was going to get to. I did, ran them a little slow, but i got them in. No knee or calf issues.......just the lungs.....
