The Next Step

I have been struggling with a calf injury and haven't run for about a month.  I have been able to bike and do the elliptical without any problems.  I thought I would get back to blogging since I did my first run in awhile.  After a lot of stretching I started off easy and didn't have too many problems.  My calf started tightening up so I stopped and stretched then felt better and completed the run.  I am going to try to get back to running very slowly so will continue to bike/elliptical while adding in a few runs to the routine.  If I can get back to full time running by the first of the year I will be happy.

I didn't really plan on running today but my schedule got tight and it was easier to get in a couple of miles then spend an hour on the bike.  I felt pretty good today and was able to get through the run without having to stop and stretch.  I could feel a little tightness in the calf but it never got to the point where it was causing any problem.  I have to travel tomorrow early then meetings all day so probably won't be able to get a workout in.
