| I started out only wanting to do about 15 but things got a little out of hand :). My legs felt good all the way through and I even managed to stretch my stride out for the last 2 miles or so. It was raining pretty good so I was a muddy, cold, wet mess by the time I got home. | | Add Comment |

| Just the red-bridge loop. My right calf was incredibly tight today ... probably didn't have enough water today. | | Add Comment |

| I tried to run but after about 400 meters it was clear that my calf was not going to let me today. I sure hope this isn't some kind of pull ... we will see tomorrow I guess. | | Add Comment |

| Tried to run again today but just about 1.5 miles into it my calf started knotting up again. It was a lot better than yesterday but not good. It should get better though with some work. In the meantime I finished my workout on the hotel stationary bike which was an interesting change from the usual. Hope this doesn't last too long! | | Add Comment |

| I spoke to a trainer about my calf and she told me to wait a week before I tried anything. Its been a week and I finally got back on my feet. My calf felt fine but I ran pretty slow and I;m definitely going to keep icing it for a few weeks. | | Add Comment |

| I wanted to run 10 but was worried about my calf still. It never hurt the whole run but I'm still really worried. Besides that my legs felt heavy but what can you expect after almost a week off. | | Add Comment |

| Back into it. My calf felt fine and my legs were not as brick-like as yesterday. I think Boston will be OK still. | | Add Comment |

| Managed to get in a freeway loop before the distance fest at AV. We had almost 20 heats of the guys mile to run ... what a meet! | | Add Comment |

| Ran the pit for the girls vault and then did 6 or 7 vaults myself. I think I could still clear 14' with a bit of practice :). My run was not good though after sitting in the sun and wind for a few hours at the track meet. Oh well ... I got in my miles. | | Add Comment |

| Getting back into it now. My legs felt OK but there was some funny business in my hip. Still I think I will be OK for Boston as long as I can find some airfare. | | Add Comment |

| Did a few vaults with the guys at practice and then put in my ten. I ran the last mile on the track to check pacing and came across in 6:06. | | Add Comment |

| Managed to get in 12 today ... tomorrow is going to be tough to run at all but we will see how work goes. Today my legs felt OK but kind of tired from yesterday. | | Add Comment |

| My hip is pretty messed up and I have no idea what I did to it. Anyway I got in a few miles on the bike but I'm starting to worry about Boston. My mileage for the last few weeks has been really sub standard and that is going to come back to bite me in a race. I haven't got airline tickets yet so this year may just me a loss ... we will see. | | Add Comment |

| Managed 12 slow miles with only a mild tenderness in my hip. Perhaps if I keep the pace slow I can keep putting in some miles and not do too badly. | | Add Comment |

| Still with the tender hip but it seems to be manageable as long as I keep the pace slower than about 6:45. Obviously I'll have to figure that out before race day but there is time for that. | | Add Comment |

| Only had time for a short run before heading over to give a talk to the Amador math team. The hip is still getting better so thats good. Hopefully the shorter run will help that along even more. | | Add Comment |

| Feeling OK around the foothill loop with some extensions at the end. The hip is still sore but still getting better too. A few more days of building mileage and then I've got some travel to do so it will be tough to get in any good runs. | | Add Comment |

| Made kind of a different freeway loop today. Legs felt great and my hip only bothered me a little near the end. I tried to run closer to race pace and things seem to be OK. | | Add Comment |

| Went for a long ride today (call it 18 worth of running) trying to keep high intensity the whole time. Then a 4 mile run with Cara just to make sure my legs know how it feels. All in all a pretty good workout but we will see how the legs feel tomorrow. | | Add Comment |
