Nice run to elephant rock with Kam, Allie and Tara.  My calves are still problematic so I probably should not have run, let alone run hills.  Going up was fine until we got close to the rock.  I felt stabbing pains in both calves.  After a short break at the rock, we continued up the trail to extend the full run to 8 miles.  For future reference, the poop on the trail is the 4 mile mark.  Coming back down was fine until the last mile which was quite painful.  The other 3 decided to play in the river but I didn't want to go through the hassle of taking off my shoes and socks so I headed home.  Walking is quite painful so I may have to take tomorrow off.

Ah! I had no idea your legs were in pain. Sorry, we really should of turned around at the rock. But you also should have really got in the river. Tisk, risk, risk! So glad you were able to make it Andy. Take it easy and rest your legs. Also, make Becky come next time.

i forgot to mention the poop turnaround, and so did tara. i'm glad someone got that down.

sorry about the sore legs -- i would have never guessed based on how relaxed you looked, so there's that...

i think taking a day off is good idea. i also think staying out of the river is a good idea.
