The last time I ran was exactly three weeks back. Turned out that run was also with these two – Molly and Bill. You may remember, I busted my calf.

After a painful recovery period – about a couple of days back, I realized that the pain had subsided. Gave it a shot for a couple of miles with the dup this morning. Towards the end, the calf started straining again. I stopped at that point. Bill continued for another few miles and I think Molly is geared up for a 15 mile run today.

The good news is that my calf muscle is letting me run again. I might have to take it easy for a few more weeks though.

The last time we ran together was over four years back. Bill put in 10 miles, I put in 14 miles and Molly put in 30 miles that day! And my legs hurt.

Compare that to today. All three of us ran 4.5 miles. I bust my left calf muscle. Had to drag myself the rest of the day. And Molly is getting ready for her “Oh-thirty-plus”th marathon/ultamarathon in under a month and half.

It was great fun to catch up with Bill and Molly. They always have funny stories. Also, Molly still has the habit of wishing Good Morning to any runner/walker who passes by…

Put in a 4 mile run in the cold but sunny morning. That keeps the word I had given Siva Iyer that I will bump up Sep distance by 10% over Aug. Finished 110K this month. Without that push from Siva, I do not think I would have stayed this focused…
