Ran on the treadmill again this morning. Ran in my Skechers and I litterallt had zero calf pain. NONE! I was grinning like a kid on Christmas sweating like crazy. Felt so good 8 miles in I started to push the pace. Started at 5:55 and slowly workes the pace down to 5:25 for the last 1/2 mile. One mile cool down at 6:30 pace. I feel so good I am going to try and double this afternoon!

Lunch: 4.5 on the treadmill no pain felt very easy 7:10 ap

Great news. Be smart though. Be certain it won't set you back before doing that double today.

I do everything by feel. I will be very careful if it's sore I stop. Otherwise just keep rolling.
