Day 96 - Sent Home

Alcohol Units: 0
Running Units: 1 mile
Other exercise Units: 0
Stretching Units: Yes

Went to Thursday group run tonight and was sent home early! I knew heading over there it wouldn't be a good run. I was tired and achy and just not feeling like running.

I started running and my lower legs (around the ankles) started acting up again. This is the same pain as the Redondo 10k. So I went to Coach Gary and asked for some advice. Coach Gary gave good advice.

He thinks it's the little calf muscle that's getting super tight - the soleus. It's harder to stretch out and strengthen. Sneaky little bastard.

So I have some new strengthening exercises and was told to rest it. Was also told to get a sports massage. Now I just need to find a sports masseuse.
