We attended the memorial day celebration in Larimore this morning after taking flowers to loved ones graves at the Larimore cemetary. We ate lunch at the legion picnic then took off for home. I decided to get a short run in as I wanted to run with the group at Turtle River park for running day on Wednesday then rest Thurs and Friday to be ready to run the 2-5K's at the Dewey Duathlon in Grand Forks on Saturday.
There was a light mist and a good breeze on the run and the temp was about 55F. The road was muddy. I warmed up with the calf roller and did some skips, high knees and hamstring kicks then ran the first mile at around 8:30 then sped up on the second mile and let loose on the third for a 6:25 mile. I cooled down with a 7:45 mile at the end with some walking and dynamic stretches. Stretched the calf and rolled my feet with the foot message ball.

Posting again
I am going to try to document my training for the Twin Cities Marathon on October 2. I am now training for the Dewy Duathlon next Saturday in the Team competition. I will be running two 5k's in the event. I have been recovering from my annual calf muscle injury. I will try to be much better about my warm ups and cool downs and stretching. Yesterday Brendan and I ran 3 miles at about an 8:30 pace, then we walked 2 miles with the rest of the family. I have been doing some cross training (biking) on my off running days.
