Have fun running, keep fit, and fight middle age spread. Run consistently and injury free. Maintain a healthy balance between running and other life priorities. Encourage my ever-aging running buddies to keep running so we can continue to share runs on the trail instead of rocking chairs.
Personal:
Blessed to be married to Karen for 30 years. We have six children (4 daughters/2 sons) ages 16 to 30, and one wonderful granddaughter.
I'm not quite sure how to balance running with recovery between TOU and SG. I decided to go light today. I only ran 2.5 miles at an easy pace. There is still a little tightness in my right calf, but it doesn't bother me when I run.
The running/recovery balance is tough. I'm going through the same thing as well. I think that you are playing it smart. Just take it one day at a time.

I believe a smart thing to do in this situation is to move every day. Run or cross-train based on how you feel, but make sure to move. Sitting without moving is harmful to your body in a number of ways.
