Swimming yet again. I'm bored with swimming....good thing it's the weekend. So I set a pr of sorts--I swam 1 full mile. It took me 1:01:51, so clearly I'm not fast (and my form is horrible, but that's a whole other story), so as of now, I don't see the Ironman in my future. I'm counting todays workout on the mileage board. If I play my cards right, I may hit double digits this week. Sweet!

Bike 2 miles

Sorry to hear about the injury. I've been having a little twinge below my right calf that sounds a lot like what you're experiencing, only not as bad. Icing seems to help a little, but I feel better results from stretching it. You probably already do this, but you can stretch that lower calf by bending the knee when you do regular calf stretches. Hang your heel over the edge of a stair and bend the knee as you stretch the calf. It's done wonders to keep mine from getting worse.

Hope you are running again soon!

Injuries are the worst!!! Looks like you're back at it though, which is great.

I've tried to stretch some, but it feels like I'm "straining" the area even worse when I do. Hopefully these last few days off will be the cure and I can get back to it. Good luck with your upcoming 5k, and awesome job on your recent tempo run.
