It's like starting all over again. I'm going to err on the side of caution this go around. If you've been following, you'll know that my right calf has been bothering me for about 6 weeks now. When I first noticed it I stopped doing speed work for a couple weeks. That didn't work, so I took a few days off. That seemed to work, but a week later I did a speed workout and it came right back.
So now I'm here, I just took 3 days off and for my first workout back I did 4 easy miles. My leg felt okay. I'm pretty far into my marathon training plan, that means my weekly mileage should be way up there, but my body is just not cooperating at the moment. At this point I'm not 100% sure I'll be ready for my marathon on November 27th. If push-comes-to-shove, and I don't feel healthy, I'm going to drop this one.
Way to listen to your body, Charlie. I know this has to be tough this far in (understatement?)...but there will be many more marathons to come. However, you only have two legs, so be good to them :)
