AM - Well, after several days of forced inactivity due to my calf issues, I was finally able to run again this morning. I took it real easy and just ran 2 miles (so far) with Sparky, untimed, but it felt really good. We have not had very much time together this week, so Lybi has not had much opportunity to scrape and massage my calf. But we just decided that we will have her do this during couples scripture study at night - I will read to her while she massages my legs. Sounds like a good idea to me . . . in fact, we did this last night, and that may have made a difference. I have a big old knot deep in my calf that needs to get worked out. At this point, I am still confident I will be able to do St. George.
PM - ran another 4 (fairly) easy miles outside. Calf felt okay, but I could still feel the knot that was there. Maybe I'm not getting enough electrolytes or something . . . 'cuz my other calf is starting to get tight as well, but in a different place. I dunno. I also noticed that my hips were pretty tight last night, so I am going to start stretching them out again as well. Average pace of 7:45 on the evening run. |
