Man was it a blustery run! The winds must have been peaking at 25-30mph here last nite.
Luckily it was kinda a cross wind, so I wasn't running 6+ miles into the wind, nor having it aid my run, by having the wind at my back.
The legs felt pretty good again last nite. I have had a bit of tightness in the left calf the past few weeks, but nothing major.
I feel fortunate that I haven't had any major training issues. I keep tabs on other runners, doing the Philly Marathon, over at the Runner's World discussion board, and it seems like the last few weeks, people have been dropping like flies.
Anyway, here are the stats:
6.49 miles 52:52 (8:09 min/mile avg.)
1 8:17
2 8:21
3 8:17
4 8:11
4 8:11
5 8:08
6 7:53
6 7:53
.49 3:42

Nice pacing Dude! In the wind and everything. I hope the calf loosens up for you and lets you train worry-free as you head towards the big race.

Weird I have had the same little tightness in my left calf also. It has been going on for about a little over a month. It seems to just show up during the first part of a run and then go away. Does yours do the same?
I am never too fond of the wind. Only exception is that if the wind is pushing my back, I am okay with that. Man, you are getting faster and faster!
