Winding Down

Scheduled for 8 miles, decided to run 4.5 miles, then walk 4 miles while Judy ran 8. If she had gone her usual pace, we would have got done about the same time, but she was going a bit faster than usual, so she caught me with about 1.5 miles to go, so I ran with her the last 1.5 miles as well. Overall 8.5 miles in 1:43:00, 12 min/mile pace. Pace the first 4.5 miles was about 10:15, with the last half mile ran at 8:54 more to see how it felt than anything else. Overall while running things were not too sore, but my right calf is still hobbling me a bit. Most likely I will either skip the last few runs or I will walk them completely. At this point they're not going to help me be in better shape for the marathon and I should try to be as healthy as possible. If it feels like it does now, I'll be able to do the marathon, but it probably won't be very quick, and I'll be extra sore afterwards from running with an altered stride.
