Update on recovery training

I had a decent run this evening.  I am still in my recovery stage of training.  I ran on the treadmill doing a 12:00 minute pace (depressing).  I'm just kidding it fells so good to get back to running.  My earlier post stated the I have been out with a stress fracture.  I have had a lot of stress this year with running.  I started off the new year with a stress fracture in my right tibia.  After that healed, I trained for the Des Moines, IA Dam-to-Dam.  This was a great 20K race.  I did the race in 1:34:18.  I was so proud of myself.  This was the longest run I have ever completed.  After the Dam-to-Dam I started marathon training.  I was doing well with my marathon training getting excited about my first ever marathon and guess what...... another stress fracture.  This one was on my right fibula.

Thanks for listening,

The pain of running

I was running on the treadmill this evening.  I am recovering from a stress fracture and starting the third week of a seven week recovery/return to running program.  Today I experienced some pain in my left foot and calf.  I did some leg squats and calf extensions yesterday at the gym.  While working my calves I did experience a cramp in my calf.  I'm hoping with some rest I'll be back for my normal recovery run program.
