8km Trail Recovery Run

http://connect.garmin.com/activity/98032044
Recovery run up in the mountains near my parents. Went down one trail which was closed off (first link) then had to find another (second link). On the second one I went down a track that was accessible by motorbikes only and got myself a bit freaked out thinking about snake bites. Unfortunately the trail only ran for a few k's. Freaked a guy out on a horse when I ran out from the bush. Felt a bit stiff and sore from yesterday and called it early.
Ended up logging 76km this week with two days off in the middle trying to get the calf back to normal.

26km Endurance Run
http://connect.garmin.com/activity/97745955
26.11km
Avg Pace: 5:03min/km
Beautiful morning for a run. About 8 degrees when I left at 7am - wasn't planning on doing this distance today, rather was thinking more like 10km and then 24k tomorrow. Felt good up until 20k when i started to get a bit of knee discomfort. Not sure if it was from fatigue, lack of mobility - whatever it was it wasn't fun. Had a sustagen at 6am and that was my entire nutrition for over 3 hrs. I'm confident I can push into the 30k's with the right prep - I'm beginning to reassess my goal pace for the marathon. I'm thinking "A" goal is still sub 3:30, but I've got a more realistic "B" goal of sub 3:40. Even that will be fucking tough.

Some really strong winds out there today which made it feel like I was running on a treadmill at times. New acupuncturist tomorrow for the legs.

15km Base Run
http://connect.garmin.com/activity/96700041
Been off my feet for three consecutive days trying to get my calf muscles to start feeling normal again. Still not 100% but much better. Trying to get some acupuncture this week. Got some quick splits, probably half marathon pace, on this run but wore myself out by 12k and struggled on home.
