Today it remains cool, but without the rain. So pretty much perfect! I ran at 3:00PM. If you can imagine. The last time I came even close to running this late was during a 'cold front' in Florida back in November. And it was still challenging. Today's run, on the other hand, was just plain pleasant.
The calves are still tight. I've read a lot of blogs today that tell me basically if you start running a lot, your calves will be tight. I don't think it's anything more serious. Shins are not really bugging me (so it's not shin splints) and it's really only when I'm running that I have a problem. No cramping up or anything. So we will stay with the schedule for now and hope that this goes away. I did have something similar happen when I took a break during the winter of 2007, then started running again, so I don't think it's anything to be too concerned with at this point.
It's nice that a 3M run doesn't seem like such a big deal anymore after two weeks of being back in a normal routine. This is great, since there are plenty of longer runs ahead. But it is also great because as long as 3M doesn't seem like a big deal, I'll get through this training plan for the half-marathon, I hope!
