Notes
Met at Gentry to run the Shikles course with Dan S., Dan H., Sam, and Hugh. Dan H. and Hugh ran the course together and the rest of us ran together. Dan led the way and set the pace. It was quite evident that he wanted to run sub-8s. I wasn't sure I could keep up, but no problem even with the hills although they were a bit harder than usual. Sam did a great job staying with us at this faster pace and we all ran great considering the heat. This turned out to be a really good run and was nice to get out and do the race course before Sunday.
My calf felt better than it did Tuesday evening. I wasn't sure how I would be after running hard this morning. Both of them hurt, but not in a bad way. The right one just burns and the left kind of feels some tightness. I will just be glad when everything feels normal again since I'm feeling like these runs are taking a little more effort they they should. Normally, I don't feel my legs so much. Other muscles are hurting in my legs that don't normally hurt and I think it is because I am walking and running a little differently than before I hurt the calf. I'm just amazed that I have some speed even with all of this going on.
