Not too bad. How hard was it to get it off the treadmill?

About 20 bolts and screws, and about an hour to figure out out. I imagine it will take a couple hours to get back together and get the belt adjusted.

So, the replacement deck is back ordered until at least Christmas.
I went to the hardware store today and bought 5 mending brackets (basically 1/8" thick by 1" wide by 6" long steel plates) and a bunch of screws and fixed it temporarily. It's actually probably stronger now than it was before the break.

Well this sucks.
I have a 10K race this next Saturday. I was really training hard for this one hoping for a PR. Then - the cold snap hit and life got a bit crazy. Then both treadmills at work are on the fritz.
NOW - I'm hurt. I have had a recurring soreness on the back of my right calf - about 1/2 of the way down. It is below the main part of the muscle. It comes and goes and has not bothered me for quite some time. I ran Saturday morning and it was fine. Sunday afternoon I am doing errands and suddenly it starts hurting. Actual pain. Before it was just sore - this hurts. And it was not running, or climbing stairs, or slipping. I was just walking across a parking lot when it started. No 'snap' or 'pop' - just pain to the point I had a slight limp. No clue what this is. I'm using the RICE thing right now (rest, ice, compression, elevation) hoping it gets better in the next few days. I have calf compression sleeves so I am wearing one of those all day. Taking Aleve as well. If it isn't better in a few days I'll probably go to the Doc - but I already know that drill. They will have to do an MRI - physical therapy, etc. It's not that bad so hopefully I can baby it back to health. The last thing we need is more doctor bills at this time of year.

Hey guys long time no post in here 
Just wondering how many of you do frequent but short runs (2 miles or less?)
It's always seemed like a bit of a waste of time to me. Not being someone who does short races or has an urge to get faster.
With that being said, I'm signing up to do a Spartan Beast later in the year and they have a monthly FB challenge - this month it's run a mile a day for 30 days.
I can knock that out easily - work is 1.3 miles away according to Google so even if I only runt here or home, I'm more than beating it but if I run there and back that's 2.6 miles a day - 13 miles a week without really doing much.
I'm starting p90x3 tonight too which is half hour workouts so the run home could be my warm up, bash x30 out and my exercise for the day is done before 5pm.
Just wondered if anyone does this or you all do longer distances.
