Home after 7 days at the beach. I did not run everyday that I had planned to. About mid-week, the day of the 4 mile run, my calves became super tight. They really hurt bad when running. I think it is from all the jumping in the waves. It is like doing calf raises all day long having to jump or at least get up on your tip toes for every wave that came by. My kids love to stand in the surf about chest deep for them. And I would have to lift them up over every wave. So a couple of days off in the middle, then some slower and shorter run days. My calves hurt in the short runs as well. When I got home I ran today. Calves were in pain from about mile 2 to 4. Then better / manageable.

Vacation with kids can be a lot of work. I've never been to the OBX but we go sometimes to Wilmington or Carolina Beach. I know I get back from those vacations very tired.

Your plan for the marathon sounds very healthy. Indeed you'll need some more marathon specific training in the coming months. You still have plenty of time.
