10R, 1W, 10R, 1W, 10R, 3W. Total 30 inutes run.  I had a bad day at work and I let it carry over into my workout.  I didn't warm up, I just launched into a run.  It wasn't very smart considering I'm still recovering from compartment syndrome surgery.  Everything turned out OK, but I'm a little sore.

When I met with my surgeon he suggested I try running fast under controlled conditions to evaluate the calf pressures and pain.  I ran the last bit of the first two run sessions fairly hard: 3:20 half mile for the first, 3:10 half mile for the second.  My calves felt great, no pain whatsoever!  My cardio fitness is awful, but that will change.
