8 easy miles

Totally bummed after the run.  During the 7th mile I strained my calf again somehow a lot like I did in Boston, but not nearly as bad.  Hopefully it will heal up real quick and I'll be back to running again in a couple days.  I can't figure out why it happened again.  I thought I was doing well and not pushing things too much.  Oh well, I'll just try and be smart so I can get back to full training as soon as possible.

What a beautiful morning... 56 degrees, sunny clear skys, no wind... And I couldn't run because of my stupid calf.  Well I may have been able to run, but I figured I should give it another days rest, so I headed to the gym for an inside workout.

30 minutes elliptical

stretching

My calf does feel better this morning than I expected.  Hopefully I'll be able to run on it without pain tomorrow.

Gave running a go.  Felt good for the first 2 miles to the track.  Right when I got to the track my calf tightened up.  I stretched it and walked a bit then was able to do 4 x 100m strides without problem.  I stretched a bit more then tried my first 800m repeat.  By 200m I knew it wasn't going to happen so I took very slow jog home.

Total run 4.5 miles

I tried to jump rope for about 5 minutes, but that didn't feel quite right, so I broke out my hula-hoop and did that for 30 minutes.  It was kind of fun.
