I took the kids to the gym after work so I could get in some miles.  I planned on getting in 8 miles.  I started off easy (7:30) and everything was feeling good, so I was contemplating throwing in a couple faster miles at (6:30), but after a couple miles, my calves started tightening up a liittle.  I decided I'd just keep it at 7:30, but still do 8 miles.  But all of the sudden both my calves really tightened up around the 5.5 mile mark.  Being that Scott just tore his calf muscle yesterday, I was being extra cautious and decided to stop my run there and live to run another day.   I got on the stationary bike for 10 minutes and then called it a night. 

Total run 5.5 miles,  TM 1%,  AP 7:30

SpeedStar 2 Miles: 5.50

Smart move! Just curious, how do you keep the kids engaged in constructive activities while you are running at the gym. Mine would have torn the place up.

Still a nice workout, glad you didn't do real harm.
