Dear James, Daniel and Emily
Today's Run/walk
Note the added /walk portion of the link today. Friday I felt some soreness in my calf, but I thought it would go away with some rest and stretching. Saturday I went on a hike with Danny & the scouts, it wasn't overly strenuous, although there was some climbing, which stretched my leg, but it didn't feel bad afterward. Having done 3 miles then I decided to skip my normal short Sunday run.
But I got up today feeling ready to really go for it. There were a couple of twinges, but I was working through it, until about the 3 mile point, when my leg let me know that in no uncertain terms it was time to stop. I tried walking through it, but trying to get back up to a jog was still too much, so I walked back home. Not really pleased about that, but it was the smart thing to do.
So I think the smart thing to do is to take the rest of the week off from running. Focus on stretching each morning and night before bed. And otherwise take it easy, so I can run my race on Saturday. It doesn't feel like anything is real damaged, just aggravated and sore, maybe a pull. So the smart thing to do is rest. Try to do some heat/cold treatments tonight as well.
