This morning I got out of my car and my ankle rolled. Didn’t hurt the ankle but it did the calf. Darn! So tonight’s run was nice and easy with 5:1 intervals and good conversation with Karen. We met at MPHS and ran out to the casino, took photos of the fountains and back.

I am beginning to reconsider the Ghost of Birch Bay Marathon. My calf is really bothering me and I have Goofy coming up…$320 for one race, plus all the travel. Do I want to put that in jeopardy? Dare I be SMART about this? The gastroc feels like it’s healing, but also like too much and I’d end up with a serious injury. Also makes me think about the Pigtails as it’s on trails for part of it. That could be good or bad.

BAH! I don’t know! I don’t want to DNS but I don’t want to injure myself.
