AM - Met with Phil and Austin for 6.5 at 7:00 on the nose around Thompson Hill. Legs are doing okay everywhere but the calves, which are in agony. Not as much agony as after Orem, but agony nevertheless. Kept going to 63:05 for 9 miles.

PM - Added 4 on the river trail in 29:15.

Not my favorite run I've ever done. 12 miles at 1 am and I'm still feeling fatigue from the race. 90:02 total time.

Another late night run. 12 miles in the Rancho Reata area, heading down to Gage and Keene. With about 3 miles to go a sharp pain started on the outside of my right calf... gave me a good scare. Stretched it a bit and slowed way down for the rest of the run. 42:30 out and 46:30 back for 1:29:00 total time. Scraped the heck out of it and iced it to death for good measure when I got back. We'll see how it does.

AM - 6.5 with Phil and Austin up in Rancho Reata because my alarm didn't go off and I didn't wake up in time to meet them at the school. Added 1.5 for an even 8. 55:18 total time.

The calf is definitely not 100%, time will tell if it gets better or worse. More scraping and icing when I got home. I've had a tough time keeping my calves loose and it's catching up with me.

PM - 4 mile easy run, no watch. Planned for 5 miles but felt pretty tired and decided not to push it and settle for the 69 mile week.
