I can't believe how fast the time has gone. I've had a great time training this group, but we've already reached the end. Today was the last long run for the group before the Buffalo Creek Half Marathon next Saturday. It was also the first time to break out the Under Armour, jacket, and gloves. It was COLD this morning. Now this wasn't January cold, but it was a bit of a shock to the system as the first really cold run always is.

This was only my second run after Sunday's marathon, and this one was actually worse than Tuesday's run. My calves were aching almost the entire way. I think it was likely all of the sitting and standing I had to do over the past 3 days. I took a very long and very hot shower when I got home and then rolled them both. They feel a bit better now, so I'm hoping that trend continues. Otherwise, my legs felt great.
