Tried to jog at practice today.   Still sore.  Continuing to work on eccentric calf races.

Friday

One mile at Holmdel park.  Still sore.      Thirty minutes in the pool, swimming.and running.  2 ×15 eccentric

It has been difficult these past few weeks to write an enthusiastic blog while I am unable to complete running workouts.  No inspirational songs or quotes come to mind these days.  I remind myself that I write this blog primarily a log of my training for myself.  But, to my friends and loyal readers, who truly make these project a joy for me, promise to limit the whining and blog more upbeat stuff.

How about this one?
