Extended Send loop into Ripley and beside A3 - stopped after 1.5 miles to stretch again. Nerve still not right and rather than waiting for what could be weeks took the plunge, sharp pin prick pain afterwards and took paracetamol (before & after) & ibu after. Muscle tight behind knee too.

73.1 kgs, lost a lot off legs.

Rested calf for last week and sheath inflammation has disappeared and large knots have settled down. Icy weather has helped/forced rest. Learnt club has a waiting list for the Paris Ride which is a relief.

Getting concerned it's only 72 days before 300 mile 4-day Paris ride. Flossing nerve aggressively in the hope, the sooner it is free of scar tissue the better, allowing time for the calf to strengthen in the saddle rather than statically over steps. Fingers crossed(!), giving priority to flossing over strengthening appeared to work better previously.

Not part of the plan, late for work meeting!

Another walk at normal pace in trainers without inserts that aggravated calf a couple of hours later.

Maybe overdid drops.

No issues whilst walking in trainers without inserts but had increased aggravation afterwards under gastroc.

Snows melted; no cushioning; not so good.

Been doing double legged calf raises for the last week. Nerve issue has settled down.

Cushioned by snow- nice!
