Short headtorch run round the village once we got home. Calf seemed okay at this more normal pace too.

In West Cork for the weekend. Tourism trot round Three Castles Head with MC, great place.
Cautious on the uphill but calf seemed okay.

Guinness and two bowls of seafood chowder at Ireland's most southerly pub (O'Sullivans in Crookhaven) for recovery fuelling, excellent.

Physio. No pain. He reckoned what was there mostly felt like scar tissue not tightness, so maybe a tear after all. Ease back into running. And fingers crossed...

Event: FVO Night #6 - Stirling South East
 

Gentle walk/jog round the first part of the night race at Bannockburn, went off after the mass start and collected the first 11 controls.

A bit nervous of how my calf would be, and walked up all the steps and slopes. Plus a little standing about when I caught up the backmarkers (!).

Seemed to go okay - calf felt a bit weird but not as tight as before, and no worse afterwards. Definitely not fully healed yet though, much massage and rolling still to go.

Nonetheless, maybe another (slightly more continuous) little run tonight before physio on Friday....

At least I haven't put weight ON at CLS....

Calf definitely improving but not ready for all the exercises yet. Similarly no post-circuits jog. Maybe later this week.....
