Went for a morning run with Ashleigh.  She was having some bad side cramps.  We walked a little more than usual.  But we ran further as well.

am -

Went for a run on my own in the evening.  Running on pins and needles with every step wondering if my calf will hold up or not.  It does not hurt.  But as I have found in the past it can "all of the sudden" feel like I ripped it in half.  Also everything about my form from the hips down feel out of synch.  Wondering I my hips are out of alignment and is causing all the aches I am feeling.  To top it off my current lack of running makes it hurt as well.  Hopefully once in better shape some of this will go away on its own.

Started out too fast again.  Then kept on going for the next 2 miles.  After 3 I realized I had bit off more than I can handle and finally backed off.  I really need to make myself run 9:00 pace for awhile.

Worked the Midnight Shift last night.  Was not to keen on going to the gym today.  Everything gets thrown off when I change my sleep schedule so drastically.

Worked Midnight Shift again last night.  Since I am taking vacation days until August 2nd, I tried to stay up to adjust to a normal sleep schedule more quickly.  Felt terrible as the day went on, so no workout.

 I Did It ! 

Ok so you see that title above and you must think I did something amazing, but alas all I did was complete a 5 mile run without injuring myself.  At least I do not feel hurt right now.  We shall see in the morning.

 I did a better job at keeping the pace slower tonight.  Still faster than what I should be doing at this time.  Cardio wise it was still in my comfort zone, although the very edge of it.  Calf started to twinge on the last hill before home. Seems like anything with a grade at or more than your average wheel chair ramp is more than it can handle right now.
