| | MAJOR difference between running on flat terrain with no wind in Orlando and the conditions I struggled through today.
I did about 0.5 mi but as I turned into the stiff north wind the third time my knee told me not to push further. So I tried walking the part of the lap that was turned into the wind and running the rest. Even doing this my calves cramped to such a large degree that I had to stop.
Hopefully tomorrow will provide a few less challenges.

| | I had planned to do an unbroken distance of 2.5 miles today but some tight calves forced me to stop and stretch at 1.5 mi. My left leg in particular had grown so tight that with my heel on the ground I could not force my toes up at all. Ouch! After stretching and walking a bit I was able to run 0.8mi or so with no problems.
So, I will make sure to stretch a bit more and try again on Thursday.

| | Managed 2.0 miles with no real stress to the calves. Did quite a few calf stretches after the run.
Lots of rain and storms predicted for this evening. Keep your fingers crossed we get rain without being blown away.

Had planned to run but about 3pm the winds started howling and storm clouds started building. I can run in a lot of conditions but lightning scares me!

| | I made it a full 3 miles today!
I did my standard stretch routine before the run as well as the calf stretches recommended by Dale. There were no real muscle-related issues during the run but I definitely ran out of gas at the 2.5 mi mark. The last 0.5 mi was all gut. Stretched a bit more after I had finished the run.

I had intended to do a short run today but got carried away with set-building duties at the high school.
Looks like tomorrow will have to be the next target.
