AM: This morning I met up with Ida at the Highland Marquee for a long run. We went slow because two days ago Ida sprained her ankle and I didn't know how my calf's would hold up. We decided on doing the cemetery run that I would run in high school. I forgot this run a bit but I found my way eventually. We were originally planning on going 7 but my calf's wouldn't handle a lap in the cemetery or a lap at the park. I made it about a mile and a half until I was limping and whimpering like a little puppy so we stopped and stretched my calf's and walked a bit. Then we alternated walking like a 400 then running a mile the rest of the run.... This run was the most painful and miserable of them all. I really want to know what is wrong with my calf's! Then I came home and stretched it out and iced it. I may or may not finish out my mileage for the week depending on how my calf feels. I think I may just take the rest of the day today and tomorrow off and see if time off helps it out any. |
