Well, I got to Davis Bay. I was quite tired but I stopped because my right calf was hurting and not getting any better and I was afraid of doing damage. The run was 17.5 km. Not what I was hoping for but good enough. I'll do another long one this week and then I start to alternate after that. I'm not going to get to run longer than the 42.2 km but all the literature says I'm not suppose to anyway.
I think the pain in my right calf was caused by the new Shape-Up runners that I've been wearing. I don't feel the extra work when I'm walking in them but they may be doing something. I've stopped wearing them for a week to see if the pain goes away. If it does and I start wearing them again and the pain comes back I'll know. The last 2 runs I have had the calf pain but not as bad as Sunday. Mind you, I didn't run as far.
I had a great run with Wendy on Tuesday. I felt great after we were done but we still had a decent pace for the Tempo run. Wendy suggested we try different routes so she came up with a new one for next Tuesday. I'm looking forward to it.
Last night was a good run. I did my second hill work out. I used Payne hill from Reed to Cemetery. I only did 3 repeats (it was all I could do anyway) but when I got home and read my schedule, I was suppose to do 5. Yikes! 107 days to go and I'm already behind! :)
I've also been feeling kinda PMSish. I'm thinking it is because my shot is due so I booked an appointment to get it Friday. Hope it helps. That and a new haircut and I should be ready to take on the world. Or at least the Gibsons Mile and the Keats Swim next week.
107 days to go!

Litze's Athens Marathon Journal
Welcome to my Athens Marathon Journal. Since this is such a big event in my life, I thought I would keep a journal. I type a lot faster, and neater, than I write so I thought I would use the computer. And I thought that someone just might be interested to see how things were going with it.
