Hal Higdon's Novice 1 Marathon Training Schedule: Week 7, Day 2
Days to Chevron Houston Marathon: 81
Planned activity: 3 Mile Run   35 Minutes Stationary Bike


Enough pain in my right calf Sunday evening to catch myself near-limping.  Oh, hell no.  I rested yesterday.  I felt a little better.  Last night I made the decision before going to bed:  No running today.  I felt irritable, edgy, and pissed off all day.   I took my gym clothes to work and left the office as soon as all patient details were taken care of.

I had my book.  I had a plan.

I adjusted the bike so that I didn't feel any pain, I opened to the third chapter, and I worked up a sweat.

After I was done I worked my way through a few of the exercises I learned in Physical Therapy and also did a little core work.  I didn't push it.  I'm still sore but not nearly as bad as Sunday.  I'm also still pissed off.  I know, I know.  But that's how I feel.

I guess I'll just cross train all week and then see how I feel Sunday.  I'm registered for the Houston Half Marathon.  I'm going to focus on rest, nutrition, and on NOT making things worse. Time will tell.
