Run ended up going much better than expected today. I was still a little worried about the calf giving me problems today and it did a little bit for the first mile or so but after that it warmed up and felt fine. Temp was a cool 50 degrees today. 50 is usally really good but there was a pretty steady breeze out of the north that made it feel colder than 50. Ran the over all run at a faster than normal pace and ran mile 6 as the fast mile at 6:58. That last mile actaully felt really good, everything felt smooth. Felt really nice to be running at a comfortable fast pace again. I know I have been saying it for a couple of weeks now but I would really like to get healthy enough to turn that one fast mile into 3-4 faster paced tempo miles. Luckily I have no pressing races coming up so I don't feel the pressure to push it before I am ready. Today is Meg's birthday and me and the kids decorated the downstairs while Meg was getting ready. I don't like birthdays in the middle of the week, today is probably the most busy day for her this whole week, not much time to celebrate. We will probably celebrate hers and mine on Saturday since hers is today and mine is on Sunday. Oh well, at least we got a little fun in this morning.
