Aches and Pains

I am still reeling from the effects of the 11 miles this weekend. I have a very tight right calf and a very sore left hip. I thought I would be able to work out the stiffness in my calf when I started running, but I wasn't that lucky. Instead, I lumbered along for 1.5 miles cursing each step. I couldn't get my stride right and galloped along, limping on both sides of my body. I couldn't see myself, but I know it wasn't pretty!

I opted to hop on a stationary bike for the rest of my workout to prevent injury this close to the SFO half marathon. And I'm laying in bed with a heating pad on my calf and hip, hoping to loosen them up a bit.

Miles logged: 6 (1.5 running and 4.5 biking)
