Workout: 18 miles easy

Overall Average Pace: 10:42

Conditions:

  • 20 (wind chill 10 degrees) 
  • SSE 12 mph
  • Nutrition was off. My Gatorade froze by mile 10.

Thoughts:

  • This was my first run since falling 6 days ago. My knees, although sore to the touch, felt fine. My left calf, however, hurt the entire run. It was bothersome at first, but the pain increased with each mile. It eventually hampered my ability to complete the goal of 18 miles.
  • My calf was so tight by mile 14, I was forced to walk that mile. I managed to start running again at mile 15,  but continuously stopped and stretched during the next mile and a half.
  • I decided to stop running once I neared home concerned that I might cause long-term damage.
  • The calf feels fine now, so hopefully it is nothing.
