7 mi. No cool down for me, I wanted to be back in time to make John's lunch and not rush through the morning process. Charlotte showed up in time to run 5 of my 6 laps with me, Walter got there very early and was on lap 4 when I started! It was cool … Continue reading Cool maybe for the last time

An offhanded description of what I did and what I thought of during the run…
7mi. A trip to Moe Monday last night left me full and bloated for the first bridge run I've done in months. I ran initially alone for the warmup, then found Charlotte for the 6 miles of up and down. It was 80 degrees and I'm happy to say, tough. Happy because I won't eat … Continue reading Don’t eat all of that
4 mi. The previous week I wasn't at the track workout, but I heard about it from Walter. Driving rain, low attendance, and a mile for time at the end. Neat I thought, because it has to be another 5-6 weeks before I see another one of those! That's good news for my recovering leg. … Continue reading All you can eat, in 300m portions
26 'dot' a few tenths of a mile. Easy flights into Boston on Saturday afternoon made the beginning of the trip fun. First class seats coupled with some eats and shopping in Baltimore airport got me to Logan in Boston, ready to subway and train my way to my friend Scott’s house in Franklin, Mass. … Continue reading Boston Marathon 2011
6 mi. Slow paced jog for 6 miles allows Dr Larivee to see what's failing and loosen me up as much as possible before the race. I cannot see him after Friday, so I follow the directives and purchase a heating pad and stretch whenever I can. The 6 miles happen very slowly with soreness … Continue reading Again?
6 mi. Dr Larivee says try a run in the neighborhood to see how your leg feels. I did a 6 mi run at regular pace, 8-8:30 and my right calf fails after 2 miles. I figure instead of going home, I'll see what happens after it spikes pain. It doesn't get worse in the … Continue reading Doctor’s orders
6mi. I had to run 6 miles before returning to physical therapy tomorrow, so a jaunt on the treadmill at lunch gets the call. I made it 5.75 miles at mostly marathon pace then my leg gave in to a pain below the calf muscle. I did the final quarter mile and felt like I'll … Continue reading Treadmill test
5 mi. Today's track was more social than running, more loosening the tight right calf than speed training. I spent the workout way in the back of the group, talking and gauging how one good leg felt against the other. Our warmup was a mile, that was like running with a knot in my calf. … Continue reading Tuning the sore leg
6mi. I ran the neighborhood route at slow 10 min miles to see what my calf would feel like. At first, it was tight with soreness on the outsides. As I made it past 2 miles, it felt better, never the same as the other one but ok to run with. I think a few … Continue reading Getting one in
5 mi. I don't remember the intervals, because I'm writing this days after the run, but the neatest part of the Thu track was the recognition of Paul's 70th birthday. A small cake and a singing group was a good surprise for a great guy!
