April 28 - May 3

Monday: 9 mile tempo
Looks like this may be our only day that doesn't rain this week.  I decided to take advantage.  Also felt I needed to get a longer run in, having missed Saturday.
9 mile tempo.  Wanted to keep the middle 5 @ 7:15 average.  I always struggle my first tempo mile, go too fast!  Garmin says I was paced at a 5:50 at one point.  I'm guessing that was the point!

My R calf still hurts.  Felt it the whole time.  I have to be careful, just one hard push will cause it to lock up!  It is tender to the touch!  I bought a foam roller yesterday, and last week I bought new shoes... again!  Hopefully getting back into the Kinvara will alleviate my problems.  So frustrated!
I have no goals for the race this weekend, at this point.  I'd like to up my mileage this week for marathon training, that is my focus.

Also took ballet tonight.  I am so tired, it was hard to get myself to want to go!  Glad I did of course!  Came home and went straight to bed.

Tuesday: run/swim
4 easy miles on trml @ gym.  8 pace @ 2 incline.
swim 1200 meters.
Crazy trying to circle swim with 4 different paces!

Wednesday: rest

Thursday: Was leery to do speed, but tried one and kept going.  5 miles total.
Not sure how to use my watch with speed yet.  I kept stopping and starting it!



Friday: 4 easy miles on treadmill 2 incline 8:30 pace.  Swim 1000.

Saturday: 13.1 race
