10 - 7:14
Had a little fartlek workout planned to test out the calf and see how it responded to some faster turnover. Decent effort at 30sec, 1 min, 2 min, 1, 30, 30, 1, 2. My right calf has seemed a little tight the last couple of runs. It was about the same today and didn't seem to be any worse with the faster turnover.
Calf tightened up and was a little sore after the session for about 2 miles easy. Then I tossed in 6 strides of 80 steps and then one easy mile to finish at 10. Calf didn't hurt during the strides and maybe even loosend up a little bit from this quick turnover.
Overall, I felt slow(er) and don't know about the 5k on Saturday. It has been 7 weeks since I have done a quick workout so I know I am slower than I was when I was running 3 miles sub-6 once a week with Josh and Adam.
