Well, well, well. Went out for an easy recovery run this morning and wouldn't you know it, my right calf blows up the exact same way my left calf did 7 weeks ago. Hmmm, not sure where that leaves me ...?

Since the half marathon on Saturday, my legs have felt more beat up than it seems they should. I'm not sure what the cause is. Maybe wearing racing flats. Maybe running on uneven trails. Maybe missing the month of February's training. Maybe not cooling down and stretching quite right. I'm not sure but I know they were pretty shredded.

They were still feeling this way when I set out this morning. I wondered how it would go. But it turned out to be a nice steady run on a cool morning. Happy to have it in the books and happy that my legs loosened up after a mile or two.
