Well today was scheduled for 4 miles, hope everyone noticed I said it was scheduled, but since I missed yesterday I figured I'd try for 3. I'm happy to say that I made 3 miles at a speed of 6.5 on the Treadmill which put me at 9.13 min miles. The last mile was not too bad and I was debating on doing the 4th mile, but I don't want to over due it. And I'm glad that I didn't. My shins are fine, but my right calf is now killing me. I was not hurting during the run, but I do remember feeling it around mile 2 but it went away. After the run I did a really good stretch before and after, but I didn't have my massage stick. Guess I need to get a small travel one...
Now about 3 hrs later, and my left calf is starting to tighten up. Trying to stretch it while I'm at my desk, but it's hurts. This is what I expected last week, just wondering why it's happening all of a sudden. I did modify the way I ran today. The wife gave me a suggestion of trying to change my stride to avoid my shins from hurting, which I'm guessing helped, but they are doing some work on my calves. So I'm going to guess that maybe I'm finally running correctly and now my body is having to work the way it should. And it doesn't like it...LOL....
