AM - tried to run with Dan and the dogs on the trail, but my calf muscles were really not feeling well so we cut it short; in the last half mile going downhill, something "popped" in my left calf muscle - sharp pain.   Jogged it in.   Did some rowing and then a mile on the peloton bike.  Hopped on the treadmill to test things - and got another mile in.   Planning to only run a mile at the most (solely to keep the streak going) for the next several days and cross train using the elliptical, the bike and some swimming.   

PM - swam 1250 meters at the OneLife gym indoor pool on a free visit.   Not the best set up - as others that I have used in the past.   Only 4 lanes, (fortunately one was open); no towel service, no hot water in the showers, no manual swimsuit spin dryer for my suit; and there was a plastic protuding fastener piece on the pool walls that I slammed my foot into on a flip turn...yes, I am being picky.   Will try two other options nearby until the summer when my neighborhood outdoor pool opens for lap swimming.
