Amazing!I took two weeks off to allow by body to heal it's self after a long nine months of racing and training and now I'm sidelined w/ a calf injury!!
I noticed a mild discomfort in my left calf it feels like a knot is the best way to discribe it either Sunday or Monday and paid it no mind at almost 47 some days almost everything hurts,when I ran Tuesday it wasn't a problem but I popped a couple of Advil{shameless plug but hey most masters athletes should probably be sponsored by Advil!!!}and iced it after the run.
As soon as I took a couple of strides yesterday the discomfort each time I tried to push off of my left leg was not something I felt I could hack for 10 miles so I did the I&I{ice and ibuprofen}routine again and stayed off my feet as best as I could for the evening.
Sadly my job doesn't allow me that luxury so I'm on my feet most of the day,but to be honest I felt fine ....until the walk home from the el......emm...
The discomfort level wasn't as bad as yesterday as I tried a few strides but I figured why frig around and potentially make it worse for no reason,besides I have a concert tonite which means a couple of extra hours on my feet.
I'll see how it feels again tomorrow b4 deciding if I'm gonna run on it or not,at this point Saturday's Catholic League 5K XC race seems out,I need to be firing on all cylinders for this now 7 week period of base mileage I don't need to make it worse because I'm too stuborn or pig headed to know when to back off for a few days
