I missed yesterday's run due to pain in my right calf. The problem flared up during Sunday's run.
I figured I would test it today no matter how it felt. I resolved to keep the pace slow. It bothered me the whole run. My new theory is that I seriously pulled the muscle at the Thanksgiving run. Over the 10 days off, it was recovering but not all the way back since I still felt it occasionally. Then I re-injured it Sunday morning in the cold at a faster pace than I probably should have been running. I'm not exactly sure how to nurse it back to 100% while maintaining my training schedule but that's what I intend to do.
The weather was nice ... warmer than I expected. I extended the Kleinwood Loop to Stuebner-Airline to add an additional mile. I truly ran by "feel" today and maintained a virtually constant pace.
Had a decent stretching series back at the house.
