Boring miles on hotel treadmill. Headed home. 6 weeks until Philly R&R.

Tired legs. Not enough sleep on vacation.

Still slow. Annoyed that I can run consistently faster. Last mile 8:40 rest around 10.

Wanted to do a long run today. Not ideal timing but 1PM was the only time I could get out. 84 degrees and sunny. I thought I would try a gel. Never did before. So I ran 8 miles then had a gel and a bottle of water. Didn't notice much difference in running until mile 12. I have never had a cramp in my leg until today. Calf just balled up. Couldn't stretch it out. Couldn't walk it off. Just limped home at a very slow jog.

Run was ok until then about 9:20 miles. That is about what I was shooting for.

Not idea what happened. I have run faster longer and hotter runs so I guess I am going to blame the gel. But it could also be leg massage this morning or 8mm drop shoes, or too many days running in a row.

Pretty slow. Calf still sore. Took about 3 miles to warm up then felt ok but not lose. Last mile under 9 min. I think this is a run through type of strain. Have a few easier/off days coming up. That should help.

Calf still sore but less than yesterday. Takes a long time to loosen up. But then feels ok.
