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!!!!!

9 miles easy run yesterday afternoon....Gorgeous weather!!! My left knee injury started to bother me again...but managed to run with it. The funny thing is that on the short runs, it does bother me, on the previous 2 Marathons, it has bother me -gone away, and sometimes come back......not sure how to 'read my body'....
Jan. 1; is the 13 miler Runtex to Runtex Run....undecided still.....It will help me for this coming Sunday 50K endurance trail run in Bandera Tx.

Dallas White Rock....
Chilly morning; decided to run for the experience with the 3:30 pacer....the plan was very simple, run until you legs blow up....First 8 miles was a gradual grade incline, and I stayed with the 3;20 pacer, my rate of perceived exertion was just a couple of heart bits over my threshold....However, I was able to scale back a few steps ,bring down my HR and reel the group on the hills....shorthly after mile 16, the wind was blowing hard, and I my body needed some calories to generate some body heat....I feast over 2 cliff bars, several oranges, water,gaterode and much more, I had an appetite, next 2 miles were still under 3:30 target goal, but after 19 miles,my quads started to feel the wear and tear...I was cold, and just wanted to end the marathon. 
I finished in 3:55, not quite my goal, but it was a wonderful humble learning experinece. 
My friend Ruben came from mexico and ran his 99th mrathon at 62 years young, he started to run at 52. This year alone he has run 16 marathons ,and this coming Sunday he will run his 100th marathon in Monterrey Mx.
I wanted sooo bad to run with him, he is an inspiration to me. 
I might run a 'unofficial marathon', to join conmmemorate Ruben's marathon, I am thinking in doing the 10 mile loop 2X, followed by the 3 miles loop 2X in Town Lake.

On another note; tomorrow I am working with www.accelerade.com with www.austinfit.com group and sponsoring their 20K run...I might joing them also....
