A Close Call?
OK so I over-did it. You all told me to be careful but I still pushed the envelope. Luckily, with your words ringing loudly in my ears I limited the damage...
Yesterday I headed off for my early morning 10km belt down the Pacific Highway and back. I did indeed feel somewhat lethargic and heavy-of-leg and so took it at a careful pace. Even so, after 6km I developed what I call "EG's calf" ... a small plug of pain deep inside the calf muscle which slowly spread in area and intensity over the next three kilometres. By 9km I had to stop and walk the rest of the way home, and the remainder of the day was spent limping slightly and yep, my right calf was definitely, but mildly strained.
Now, 24 hours later it is much better, and I'm confident I'll be running again by, say, Friday at the latest. But I'll take it easy. For sure. No, really I will. Honestly!
