After sleeping half the day away I took the dog to the track as is tradition every Sunday. I was just going to walk but decided to test the waters and assess the damage of yesterdays leg grinder.
I slogged a painful 3 miles. This little test confirmed that I have definitely pulled something in my left calf. Hopefully just a muscle strain. Miraculously my quads do not hurt at all. My hamstrings are tender and my left calf is down right painful.
I will ellipticize tomorrow and then reasses the damage. I do not think this is completely due to the race yesterday but more likely a combination of the race and wearing my racing flats for too many miles last Monday. |
