Still in the lead

I'm still one day up on Tom. :) Although we may be tied again, if he goes for a walk with me & Spencer this afternoon...

Still being plagued by calf problems - i'm sure it has to do with my form when i'm running and i hate to say it, but when i got my Brooks (back in November, ha) is when my calves started acting up. Very frustrating.

Pat's Run is next week...i'm excited, but not sure i am really prepared. I've been pretty lax on my running, only doing 2 or so miles each run. Need to step up my game, especially if i still plan on running the 1/2 in Vegas in December...

You should be fine for the 4 mile race. Maybe go on a 3 mile run this week if you're concerned.

Personally, I LOVE Asics. I like that the gel offers extra support and basically ends up molding the sole to your foot. But I've never tried Brooks. Sometimes my calves get tight too...it might not be your shoes and just a sign you should stretch more before you run. I'm no doctor but that would be the cheapest solution ;)

Oh and you have plentyyy of time before the half in December.

I had the same problem with my calves a while back. For me new shoes and a less ambitious training schedule solved it (gave myself a few rest days in there)

Hopefully you'll figure it out soon! Can't wait to hear how the Race went!
