Left calf was still tight this morning even after all the work on it last night. I figured I would go out at 6:30s and see how I felt. I was good until about mile 6 and then it tightened up so much that I almost had to stop because the pain was sharp. My thought at first was to take off with 4 to go and see who I could catch, but instead I chilled at 6:30 pace. Sometimes you have to pick your battles and this one was not a battle that mattered to me. Weather was cold, especially going North. I was really using it to see my fitness, which isn't` bad for just getting up into the 40s. The calf was way tight after and I had a har time walking. I rolled it out way good and actually brused it because it was son tight. I might take Moday off and then ease back into things and get the miles up a little more. Felt pretty good for my first real long run. 1:25:28
