I hurt both calves at Marine Corp Marathon on Oct 28. Registered to run the Kiawah Island Marathon in SC (one of my favorite marathons). Was going to defer but decided to give it a shot since we were here and had rental with friends. Calves and legs flared up pretty bad, especially last 6 miles but finished in 4:48 (assumed it would be 5:30-6:00) so I'm happy.#62 |

| Long story short, at the suggestion of Dave McGillivray (race director Boston Marathon) I had an intensive stress test at Mass General Hospital's Athlete Performance Center last Friday. Got results and the doctor told me I pushed the stress test harder than 95% of all clients (includes a who's who of Boston athletes), that my heart was strong and not the reason for my belabored breathing issues. Cleared for running but still need to find the solution. |

| When I started training for my first marathon, I was told to find a point 1.5 miles from my house and back home would be 3 miles. I had no idea how far 1.5 miles was but just kept driving and found myself in the next town, Wellesley. I turned into a cemetery, up a hill and at 1.5 miles I stopped the car by a marker that said HOPE. My mom (Hope) died when I was 15 months old and this is her final resting place. #fate. This morning I ran my 3 mile loop, taking a picture as I said hi to my mom. Tonight I did another 3 miles. |

| Recovery run from Marine Corp Marathon on Sunday. Great marathon but left calf was not impressed and complained very loudly. Around mile 6 I found an apple on the ground and tried rolling calf to no avail. Found discarded arm sleeve around mile 7 and slid it on which helped a little. Tough day but nothing compared to what Marines go through, so sucked it up and finished. |
