When I woke up this morning, a run of any distance was not looking good. The calf hurt and I was walking with a slight limp and even when there wasn't a limp, there was noticeable pain. I was pretty certain a run was out of the question.
However, as the day wore on, things felt progressively better to the point that I went for a run at around 3:30 (missing the rain yet again) hoping to get 6 or so miles in. Well, after a slow first mile, everything started feeling better than it had all day and I wound up running 12 miles at a very comfortable 6:37 pace. I was able to get some really good stretching in. It still is sore but not nearly as bad as this morning. |
