oops, I'll be back time to pick up my little one from school.
My splits were as follows:
Mile1= 11:46 AVGHR 130 138 MAXHR 146
Mile2= 11:52 AVGHR 141 144 MAXHR 147
Mile3= 12:12 AVGHR 139 143 MAXHR 148
Majority of the HR stayed in the zone (35:12). below zone for :27 seconds
I'm really happy with how todays run went. I really think the new shoes was the problem. Tomorrow I will run on the elliptical machine at the gym, and see if I can incorporate that as a cross training. In the past I haven't liked the elliptical, but I'm willing to give it another try. I'd like to get to the point where I am running 4 days a week, but right now, until I am 100% sure this calf issue is OVER, I will run every other day to ensure good recovery.

Happy to hear you solved your calf problem with new shoes! I need to consider buying new shoes as well...normally I would retire them at 500 miles, but the lighter shoes (ASICS DS GEL Trainers) appear to be worn out before 400 miles. My stability shoes are longer lasting, but are too heavy for speed drills and races.
Hey Bruce,
Well, I'm hoping it solved my calf issue. Yesterday's run definitely felt BETTER, and I don't feel the calf when just walking around anymore.
When you retire a pair of running shoes, do you use them for everyday walking shoes?? I pretty much wear sneakers all the time. That is usually what I do. So, now I have new running shoes that now have 3 miles on them, and walking shoes that have about 300 miles on them and they both feel great!
My sneakers are also ASICS (GT 2120's), have no idea what 'kind' of shoe they are. A friend back in 2005 recommended them to me (different number, I think it was 2100 then), and I've stuck with them. But I've been thinking about trying a stability shoe, but don't know if it would help, or what it does?? LOL
I don't really know the definitions of the different styles of shoes, and why one would run with a particular shoe. Please excuse my ignorance.
Guess I'm becomming a runner. I think about running all the time. Think about my times, and training times, and think about what shoes would be best for me. LOL
Hope you enjoy your day off today (Saturday)!!
G,
Thanks honey, before you know it you'll be out there racing with me!!!! I can't wait.
