Objective : Valencia half marathon

11th September

After a day of rest, I went for a run at 8 am. It was a sunny morning. When I started, I felt a little discomfort in my right calf so I decided to go very slowly. I met Encarna at the park when she was going to work. She is a runner who took part at Almería half. I walked with her for three minutes and went on jogging along Nicolás Salmerón park. There were a lot of puddles because on Tuesday it rained cats and dogs for half an hour. I got as far as the end of the park and came back. There were some people walking their dogs. When I was reaching the the other ether end of the park I felt pain in my right calf so I had to stop and went home limping. In all, I just did 20 minutes, around 2.5 km. At home I put some ice in my right calf and in the afternoon and evening some ointment. Today I can walk a little better but I´ll have to rest from running a few days. It´s a pity because I was going to take part at a 10 km race at Laujar de Andarax on Sunday. Perhaps I should have rested another day.
