Training Day 10
We started our run a little after 7am this morning, while the weather was agreeable. The temp was in the low 60's and there was a slight breeze coming off West Beach.
Sherri finished the 2.49 mile run in 24 minutes and 56 seconds; shaving off 30 seconds from last Tuesday's run. She might have actually shaved off several more minutes if she did not have to slow down and check on Steve.
Since camp, Steve has been dealing with tenderness in his knee and lower calf. It has been over a week since he has run, so he felt like he had given his leg ample time to recover. Even before he left the house, he wrapped his calf and knee with an ace bandage for added support.
However, about 1.25 miles out, his lower calf began to cramp up. He had to stop many times to work the cramp out; which became frustrating quickly. In the end he gave way to limping back home, until Sherri could get the car to pick him up.
After having the opportunity to examine his calf, Steve is pretty confident that the pain is actually coming from his Achilles tendon, and radiating up into his lower calf muscle. He has an appointment with the doc on the 7th of August.
Sherri is dealing with her own foot issue as well, but that is for another time. Getting old can be challenging! :)
