Calf injured. Have decided to not run the half marathon. Need to get over this injury as I have a steady stream of races coming up (one a weekend for a while). A real shame as I was looking forward to it quite a lot. But will have a go, I think, at the Boulogne race in November - supposed to be a good fast race. Icing and massage on calf. Will go to see doctor next week.

Damn, buggar and blast. Got about 10 minutes into the run and left calf started to feel tight and sore. Stopped a few times to stretch, but got worse and by the end of the run it was very sore and clearly a torn calf muscle. Located in the middle of the large calf muscle mass, it is quite hard to reach. Ice, anti-inflammatories to see what happens. Not sure about the half marathon this weekend.

Evening run around the Bois. Took it easy in preparation for the weekend.
