Early AM: Ran 5 with Kim then 1 solo. Wet morning with a light rain but not too cold. For some reason with cold and wet weather I can't seem to get the calves loosened up and they want to cramp all day. Been trying to stretch them out a lot and seems to help a little. SGM 2008 with the nasty monsoon conditions totally thrashed my calves, worst pain ever and sore for days. Not sure what the deal is. Ave HR was also a bit on the high side.

9:04/140

Late AM: Ran 4 on the roads in a little better weather than this morning. Actually got a little bit of everything: rain, wind, then finishing in the sun. Calves a bit happier for this run. Ave HR more reasonable as well.

8:19/146

Today I'm thankful that not everyday is a Monday!

What's up with the calves. I'd think that running with Kim would get them all warmed up and ready to go.

nice monday miles. have you ever tried wearing compression sleeves to combat the calf problem?

Allie I was actually wearing the compression sleeves/socks this morning but for whatever reason the calves just didn't want to wake up.

I know some people that have "weather knees", maybe I just have weather calves.
