RECAP: I think I need to face up to the fact that for right now, as long as I am getting in my scheduled runs, I should really be too upset about not hitting my total workout time goals. Work is busy, I travel every weekend, and really, all that is important to me right now is making sure I am properly trained for this marathon.

This week was a bit of a recovery week, long run was just fifteen miles, and I generally took it easy. Still for some reason my calves have been sore all weak. Not injured, just really tight and sore. Not good, considering this week will be my biggest mileage week ever. If all goes according to plan, I’ll be running a total of 43 miles for the week. That my friends, is a lot of miles.

Anyway, here are the numbers
