AM:  48F, S 12 mph.  6 @ 8:37 AP.  Some pain/weird tightness behind my left knee, near the top of the calf.  I stepped in a pretty bad pothole yesterday in the dark that knocked the wind out of me so I think that might be the culprit.  I remember being surprised that no damage was done...  Ibuprofen, then re-assess this evening.

PM:  82F, SSW 17 mph.  5 @ 8:30 AP.  Gott off work early, so I went for a run in the afternoon heat - definitely not ready for summer yet!  Anyway, the upper calf/behind knee pain was muted, at least, with ibuprofen.  Can still feel it twinging dow there though.  Seems like it might be ok, and hopefully heals while I train.

Hope it's nothing.

sounds like a good plan--hopefully it is just a transient niggle.

It's amazing what clears up with some very easy running. Do what you need to do to get it straightened out.

Sounds like that pothole got your attention. Sure hope that's nothing, but you'll know what to do.
