3 Miles

I took a few days off over the Thanksgiving holiday, but I got bacl on track today. I ran 3 miles, including running up a large hill and 2 smaller hills (I walked most of the way downhill after I finished the 3 miles).

2.5 Miles

I ran another 2.5 miles yesterday. I plan to run again tomorrow. So far, the weather has been great for this time of year. Hopefully that will hold out for a while longer so I can keep doing my longer runs outside.

Three Miles

I ran three miles this morning. Once again, no pain issues. Hopefully I can build up my distance a bit before it gets too cold to run outside.

Two Miles

I did 2 miles on the indoor track today in 18:35. I felt fine the entire time and had no leg pain.

2.5

I did 2.5 miles today over lunch. I felt OK the entire time and had no calf pain.

Three Miles

On Saturday, I was able to run 3 miles without any pain in my calf. I was very tired by the end, as it has been a while since I have run that far, but I was happy to reach this milestone in my continued training.

I don't plan to run any races in the near future. I just want to stay in shape over the winter. I then hope to start training next summer to do the half marathon again, with the goal of running the entire race without having to walk.

I'm Back

I started running again this week after taking some time off. I did 25 minutes on Monday (about 2.5 miles). At the 18 minute mark, my calf started to really hurt, but I decided to just run through the pain.

My calf was still hurting yesterday, but I was determined to run 2 miles. I did it in about 19 minutes, and while my calf did hurt a little, it actually felt better after I ran.
