Terrible tendons

This week's plan:
rest, run 5, run 8, run 5, rest, run 12, cross

My left calf is still messed up from the 19 mile run of 3 weeks ago. This didn't bother me so much in the mini marathon, but it has been getting worse every week.

Mon 5/15 - Rested as planned.
Tue 5/16 - Ran 4.8 miles
Wed 5/17 - No run, too busy at work.
Thu 5/18 - Ditto
Fri 5/19 - Ditto. Maybe the 3 days rest rest will help me heal up some of my injuries.
Sat 5/20 - Ran 11.7 miles in 1:45:37, or just over 9 minutes per mile. But pain for first 7 miles or so was pretty bad. Stretched and walked for about 10 blocks once I got home. Also soaked in tub of ice water from waist down. Considering I forgot to take my Alleve before the run, I didn't do too badly. I noted the requirement for Preferred II section of Chicago Marathon, so that's what I'll be shooting for in South Bend -----> 3:55:59.
Sun 5/21 - Rest (no cross training)
