Well, the good old calf cramp struck again. Got up this morning with the intention of doing 7 miles in the morning, 5 outside and another couple on the treadmill after Lybi went out for her run. However, after only 1 mile, my calf started tightening up again, and I had to stop and stretch it out. The next two miles were quite a bit slower, especially the third. I decided I had had enough and stopped. It was fairly sore even when walking the last 1/2 mile home. Stretched out some more. I think part of the problem may be that my grid tangents have seen their last days - I have probably put somewhere around 500 miles in them. Until I get my email from road runner sports with my free pair of shoes (I will get another pair of progrid guides), I am going to only wear my guides. I am also going to have to take it very easy this week until my calf heals up. Nice slow runs, no faster than 8:30/mile. Lybi has also promised to scrape my leg tonight. |
