It's been awhile since my last post, my trainning  has not been at par, my left calf injury seems to be coming back when it comes to running, seemely on an easy 10K , like the Austin Human Race.  Lately , it has been swimming, cycling 3X weekly for 150 mls. (which I intend to increase ) and some light weightlifting.

Really, really ,really miss running, the sweat, the pounding, hearing my breathing, my lungs, my exretion, feeling the muscles propeling me forward, the hills, the energy from the plants, the energy from the elements........so wonderful  way to live.
I have a marathon schedule in Nov. San Antonio Rock & Roll Marathon, which I intend to  'race' , and do my training on my bike, and swimming..... and not running . The plan is to quallify for Boston , train the aerobic system without running, it's the only alternative I have at this point.
Bless everyone.
 

Doe anyone know where I can go and shop for Painting stuff , like canvas , oil pait colors that are inexpensive , they can added up ...anywhere in Austin.
Thanks.

Friday; I ran with my Marathon partner easy 3 miles, it was awesome!!!
Saturday; I did a 7 miler run on my own , it was a gorgeous hot day!!!
My so call injury seems to have dissapeared, I feel great, and more confident for this upcoming weekend.
Confident from the perspective, I will not tear my injury more that already is.
Austin Downtown lights......I LOVE IT!!

Today, was warm ,hot and humid. I coached my group at noon and ran 2 miles with them...It was so much FUN! and it felt good to feel the sweat, my left calf is Ok, not quite healed but bearable.
Since the weather was so gorgeous, a Marathon friend of mine called me 'let's run this afternoon', I said 'sweet! what time?'
We met at 3pm and ran 4.5 miles. Something about running 2X per day, that makes me feel good overall, I started to like it, and plan to do more of these 2X per day run.
ATT Marathon is only 12 days away, I feel uneasy about my 'injury' the plan is run it and not damage the injury, run it moderately.

Saturday 2:  12 mile run. nice weather, nice company, it felt like a 6 miler run instead;However, my left calf started to feel some sort of 'pain' Hmmmmm , it left me with a uncomfortable uneasy feeling.

Sunday 3: 3.5 miler recovery easy run, gorgeus suny weather!!! felt great!!

This past Thrusday went on a 4 miles run.....I am only running once a week, to prevent my unjury to flare up, and to let it heal.......I felt again a little 'something' on my left calf....something that was not right, something that it let's me know that ..'hey I am here not quite ready' ......I am 3 weeks out, and in all probability I will run it, and walk it if I have to.........I want to do 2 more after Austin.
God help me please.

It has been 2 weeks that I have not done any running, last week I ran with my training group and felt a slight pain on my left calf. Today I ran with a couple of gals from my training group , the  pace was aerobic,steady, and finished the 4 miles fresh, without any issues. 
This is the BEST RUN I had as a 'comeback', AWESOME!!
I Love my Training Group!!!!!
