Last week did not end up any better then the previous week had ended. I have been experiencing pain in my right calf, what started as a pain during a speed workout nearly 3 weeks ago and only flared up during faster runs was a constant pain. It was a dull pain and tolerable, but it wasn't getting any better. I decided to take off starting Thurs and not run until today. I even went as far as buying and wearing a compression sock that goes up to my knee. Today was the first time in 3 weeks in which I didn't have some pain in the calf, so as of right now it looks like I made the right decision to stop running. There are 7 weeks till the marathon so I can change up my training plan a little and still get in two more 20+ mile runs for a total of five. As of right now I'm not too concerned, as the week progresses I'll have to see how the calf feels. I did wear the compression sock after my run today just to lessen any pain if there was any.
Last week I ran only 20 miles, which brings my total to 598.
