Calfs very tight as well as sore heel

Maroc run from Corsedarder west to caper enclosure, down to FoB road, along south side of river and back up through the forest. Sleet / snow the whole time, so good that we chose a sheltered route. Not sure folk were too impressed with the stream crossing though!
Foot didn't feel too bad, but must have been running tense as I could feel a tweak in my back which turned into a muscle spasm by the end. Not good now - don't know how I'm going to ceilidh dance tonight ;-{

Loosened up enough to enjoy the dancing, but stiffened up again big time after. Hmmm...

Catching up from last night.

With J from Crossroads west along the ridge on the edge of the forest to the top of Craiglich. New planting up here and a vehicle track that gives ok running most of the way. Fantastic on top - perfectly still and blue skies in every direction so didn't feel cold. Met another guy up there just sitting watching the world go by. Off the top to the W and down to the track then back round the south side of the hill on track / ride to rejoin the outgoing route. Nice liitle circular. Bit of a plod again, but neither of us feeling too lively. Heel is still sore, so need to keep an eye on it.

Lots of stretching on the right calf which tightened up straight after the run. Almsot certainly linked to the heel problem which looks like plantar fasciitis.

Planned to go for a morning run but have had pain under the right heel since last nights run so taking the day off in the hope that it eases.

3 x laps of the lake on the campus at Reading. Briskish pace and pushed the last one to try and break the 10' from the first two. Maybe not Shooting greens but traffic free and unlit. Mini torch wasn't a great help.

Feeling really drained and almost didn't go out, but not going to have much time in the next day or two so decided to go for a half session. Did 10 x 1' + 1' at H'head. Felt much better for it. Right knee has been clunking badly for a few days now - can't remember what set it off - pilates maybe?

To and from intervals

Mostly aerobic stuff. Needed to thrash out frustrations from after school athletics. Just one disruptive child spoiling the fun - shame it's my own. Get tough time.
