I ran out to Mini Gu to test out the old calf and it felt the best that its felt in about two weeks. I felt it a tiny bit on the way back towards the end but all in all it was pretty good, so I will see how it goes this week because its really hard to tell after one run. I'll need to see how it is tomorrow and then the next day and so on and so forth. My average pace was real easy at 8:42 with my total time at 52:40, I felt pretty good strength wise going out but on the way back I did get a little tired in the legs. I think the strength will come back quicker than I think as I keep running, I'll just have to work through it! After the run I did my upper body weight training and then some push-ups, I haven't done that in a while and it should, very weak.

See ya tomorrow.
