Calf muscle blues

Damn and double damn!

My troublesome calf muscle has started causing problems again. Warmed up well, was 10 mins into my scheduled 50 minute run this morning, pace was good, and then my calf muscle started tightening up to the point where it became too risky to carry on. Walked home.

Earliest podiatrist/physio appointment: Friday.

The good news is that the muscle didn't suddenly (in one stride, like it did the first time) get very painful. It just felt very close to getting a lot worse. So I stopped at the right time.

The bad news is of course that any disruption like this to my training program is going to make it harder for me.

If I have to walk the marathon, I will. One way or another, I'm going to do it.
