Training Log Archive: Spike

Checking some control locations for the Rockhaven event. I noticed that a few of the tapes I put out before have disappeared. That surprised me.

It was cool and wet with the temp 38F at the start and 36F at the end. Rain fell steadily, but lightly. The wind was light. I was nice for running.

Jogging around and looking at a few things on the map. Also checking to see that some of the mini makers were still in place. I checked four of the 5 mini marker and they were all still in place.

Work commute. The weather changed and it was chilly and windy.

A short jog on West Campus. I took it a little easy to rest the left calf. It felt ok.

Work commute and nothing more.

Work commute. The same as yesterday weather-wise.

My calf felt almost normal during the day, so I decided an easy jog would be ok. It was. I took it easy - shuffling along and avoiding any hills. It felt ok. I could tell I wasn't quite running normally, but after running the calf feels good.

Work commute. 20sF for the trip to work, 60F+ for the trip home.

My left calf felt tight all day.

My left calf felt tight all last night - enough that I had some difficulty sleeping. So, I didn't run today. Instead, I did an easy map hike at Rockhaven. When I'm in the woods, I'm usually either mapping, checking control locations or running courses. An unstructured map hike was nice. I used to do that a lot - walking around and looking at how things were mapped and trying to understand maps and the terrain. But I haven't done that recently. I should do more map hikes.
