Today was the first official day of marathon training.  The goal this year in February is to Boston Qualify.  My half ironman is over (and I need to write a race report) and I am focusing on my marathon.  I did an easy 5 miles just to get my legs recovered a little more from the half ironman.

Nice easy run this morning.  About the same AP as yesterday but I had my HR monitor so I focused on keeping the HR around 144-146.

I was in Snowflake for a high school football game so I ran in the elevation.  It was 24 degress when I started, but it actually felt really good.  I didn't push too hard.

I did a short tempo run this morning.  I had to wait for the rain to clear so I didn't get a lot of time to run.

Long run today.  I had some calf pain about mile 11 so I stopped for about 2-3 minutes and walked.  It has been pretty sore all day.  I'm thinking tomorrow will be a recovery day so I have 2 days to recover.  I have been working on my foot strike and I think my calves are being worked a lot more than they are use to with my new running style.

Tempo Run.

1 mile warmup, 6 miles at tempo (7:20-30), .25 mile cooldown.

My left calf was tender but nothing really hurt.  I just knew it was still tender.  It bothered me more when I ran downhill and less when I ran uphill.  It also felt better when I ran fast vs. running at a slower pace.

Easy run keeping the HR at or under 146.

My calf felt good with much  less pain than yesterday.  I rolled and stretched last night and I think that helped out a lot too.
