I’m not running tonight

I have 3 miles on the schedule but I’m not going.  My calves are killing me.  And not the soreness you get from too much workout, but a sharp stabbing pain that radiates around and forward to my shins.  It hurts to walk, it hurts to walk down stairs.  I think that if I want to make my speed workouts this week, that I need an extra rest day.  Stretching and massage may help loosen them up, but one more day of running on the pavement is not going to help.  I could go to the Y, but its 8:00 now and I won’t get home until late.  I need sleep.

Hope you are are having a good week so far.  Pam apparently put up frilly curtains while I was locked out.

    Whoa…sore calves are no fun at all. I think it’s wise to take a break. Rest is just what you need. You’ll be back at it very soon and better for having taken the time off.
