I got up early to get in a long run before work this morning. It was a bit breezey and cool but not bad for a long slow run. I averaged just under 9 minute miles and felt pretty strong until around my 17. By the time I hit 18 I could tell I might end up with a calf problem if I continued on, so I stopped there instead of finishing 20 as planned. I feel pretty good afterwards and my calvess, while tired, don't seem to be injured. Hopefully they stay that way throughout the day. Tomorrow I'll be doing a lake swim and a long bike; Saturday Lane and I will be skiing all day; and Sunday is always my rest day, so I won't be running again until Monday. That is probably a good thing to help my calves recover well.
