Woke up with a really bad cramp in my right calf. It has been sore for a few weeks but it suddenly turned into a terrible pain. I decided that the best way to find out if it is something serious is to go running (not sure if that is smart or not). Ran the first mile at a comfortable pace then the next 3 miles at marathon pace. The calf felt fine but it was a lot more work than it should have been. The past couple have days have been very stressful as I try to get things tied up at work since I will be taking a week off. I think that the extra effort that todays run took was due to the added stress. The predicted weather for Boston on Monday looks awful. It is going to be cold, rainy and windy (20 mph headwind with gusts to 40 mph). I guess it will be adventure.
Total Time: 37:37 (7:31/mile) Avg HR: 162 (way too high) |
