I've been nursing my left calf. I pulled something a few weeks ago during a pretty tough interval session on trails. Took a full week off, had a couple good easy runs and then hurt it again on the track. Rest, ice etc. A few more easy runs and feeling good I decided to do the Millville 10k. The plan was an easy pace, not worrying about my time, just to see if I could do it without re-injuring. I fell into step with a friend on the course and we just paced and chatted for about 8 of the 10k. The last 4k was a pretty steady climb. We didn't chat much for the final 2k. Long story short I had a great run, was distracted so that I wasn't worried about my time and ended up setting a pb for 10k on a pretty tough course. My calf feels great.
Time: 52 minutes and change. I might not be fast but at least I'm slow.
