Yesterday I was questioning whether or not I should run 20 miles today.  I was dumb and defitinitely made the wrong choice.  My left calf and my right knee are messed up pretty good right now.

I was supposed to meet Jeff and the group at Dimple Dell at 6:00 am to run Wasatch Blvd.  When I got up at 5:00, it was pouring rain and windy.  The forcast showed it was supposed to clear up by 7:00 so Jeff and I decided to start then instead.

We started at a really nice and easy pace.  Peggy, Cheris and Michelle joined us a the church at the top of the big hill.  On the way back at about mile 12, I was running down the big hill with Peggy way faster than I should have and my calf started to really hurt.  I couldn't believe how stupid I was.  I planned on running 20 but I knew it I would better off to just end it when I got back to Dimple Dell.

I hope your calf and knee start feeling better soon.

Thanks Jeff. I really appreciate your comment. I was able to run today without pain. I'm hopeful that's a good sign.
