Nothing doing today...

Good morning!  Nothing going on today.  Healing from the 5k I ran on Saturday.  It was a beautiful day, but training for a half marathon had taken a toll on me.  I had a calf strain on Tuesday and couldn't run because of the weather on Wednesday and Thursday (snow/rain).  Which was a good thing, so I could try to heal.  I am one who doesn't go to the doctor unless I am in unbearable pain and can't figure out what to do to make it better.  That being said, I investigated on the internet what the problem with my calf was and how to fix it.  I felt better Friday, so ran 5 miles and didn't feel too bad after that.  Saturday came around and I was doing pretty good......until about a mile in and then there was a POP in my calf and I was literally stopped in my tracks.  I couldn't put any weight on the right foot, but kept moving off to the side of the road to get out of the way of the other runners.  I made a comparison of myself looking like Quasimoto dragging my right foot and moving off to the side!  What can you do????   It doesn't do any good to cry about it.  I did manage to start jogging/running and my time was 28:40.  Not too bad.  Needless to say, I am off the circuit for at least a week, depending on how my recovery goes.  May try walking but that will only tempt me to jog.
Have a great day!
