[today’s run: 3.6 miles]
I am currently in training for a 20k race in early March. The race takes place in the long leaf pine forest southeast of Laurel, MS (north of Hattiesburg) on land that is part of the Chickasawhey State Wildlife Management Area.
I have been there two times before to act as crew for my wife. She is also running this time but is doing a longer version (I think the 50k).
So anyway, she is also acting as my coach. I got a freebie wall calendar and she writes on it what I am supposed to accomplish each week. That officially started on December 1st. So this is my 2nd week of training.
I think I am past my calf pain trouble. I bought some Brooks shoes for a different pattern and I traded in my Topo’s for a size smaller. I have made one run in the smaller Topo’s and that turned out OK.
