Some days are diamonds, and some were more like this morning.
Today's training called for a 20-30 minute run, which would make this the third running morning in a row. I decided to run into work, or at least run for 25 minutes and walk in from there. I managed to get two miles in before I felt a familiar discomfort in my calf. When I reached my stopping point, the discomfort grew a lot more 'discomforting'. I had been here before, experiencing the exact same pain, a little less than a year ago, and it forced me to go two weeks without so much as a jog.
A couple of nights ago I was reviewing the training schedule and was surprised to see the three day in row segment, especially following a Sunday, 'long' run. I should have let me common sense take over at that moment and make an adjustment allowing for an extra rest day. The body needs rest, almost as much as it does the running.
The good news from today, my body will get the rest it needs; it now has no choice.
