Marathon W13 R1

5 mi
Ala Wai canal

Ok, so after coming back from the foot injury in week 12, not only were my calves destroyed, but my right knee was feeling the hurt.  Didn't run again until the R4 day, and only did 3 miles because the calves were bound up tight within the first two minutes, and after 2 miles the knee was tweaking.

Today was better.  Got all 5 miles in feeling relatively safe.  The foot is maybe a little sore/inflamed, the knee feels some stress, but nothing worrying, and the calves are really damn worked.  I felt like my whole body was made of lead though -- underslept, underhydrated, possibly undernourished, though I did drink enough steamed whole milk at work today...

I feel like I'll be able to finish the marathon without injury, and be able to walk the next day, but I'm going to have to walk more of it than I anticipated.
