A.M. - 50 minutes on the TM at the gym, all flat:
5 minutes @ 9.5 mph
10 mins @ 10.0
25 mins @ 10.5
10 mins @ 11.0
Everything was fine until just before the 50 minute-mark. My left calf started to tighten up. Subtely at first, and then pretty sharp all of the sudden. Decided to pull the plug on the run rather than pushing through it and potentially doing damage. It's still tight, especially after sittng for any period of time at work. Loosens up a little when I'm up and moving. Kind of a freak thing.
We'll see if I'm ready to run by morning. I'm hoping so.

P.M. - 20 mile bike ride at lunch. Dump loops - very similar to the running route I do from time to time out here by my work. Nasty south winds, but fun for the few stretches when I was heading north; easily 30+ mph speeds, then about half that when heading south. Calf just fine on the ride.
Would much prefer a longer ride after work, but I've got my daughter's soccer game this afternoon and for a few weeks while I'm trying to get my cycling legs back to a base level, this type of shorter/flatter ride is about perfect.
