Recover from the Calf - 6/1/12

More time passed than I wanted before I was able to get this one out:

The Turkey Creek trails - end to end and back.  A year ago, you couldn't have talked me into doing this, me thinks.  5.5 was enough for me.

I basically took the week off from running.  I did, however do a very interrupted 2 mile run on the Friday night, so I'm going to add that mileage to the total in my June count.  This run felt good, though I can't help but notice that I ALWAYS run too fast when I'm by myself.  Aside from that, I'm running in my new shoes!  They feel great, and hopefully will give my legs a few extra miles in reduced wear and tear in the marathon.  Still breaking them in, so hopefully I'll have more than a few chances to wear therm around.

Other than that, not a very exciting run.  I picked it up at the end (last mile or so), which accounts for most of the HR (including the last 100 yards getting me up to 187).  It was hot out again - can't wait for the lovely, cool shore of Lake Superior!

That's it for now.  Marathon in 11 days!
