That sucks man. What's the recovery time like for that?

ya man.

well, i've had this MANY times (in both calves).. mostly from messing around with my form etc, or a freak response to stretching (seems like the culprit this time).

sometimes it's very debilitating but only lasts ~2 days.. sometimes it lasts a few weeks. It kind of seems that this one is somewhere in between. So i'm hoping it feels fully recovered by Tuesday but it all depends on tomorrow.. if tomorrow it feels like it does today, then i'm wrecked.

maybe bail on the race.

ya for sure.. I'm definitely not going to run through a tear in a race. Even though my mind still tells me to do it, that would be an extremely bad idea. :f

so i'm already starting to lean towards bailing on the race, unfortunately :/. But there's still a few days. The thing with this is, once this injury recovers, I usually can just run hard on it with no problem. It would need to feel fully recovered by Tuesday for me to feel confident that I can push it on Wednesday.

as much as I want to race Wednesday, it definitely won't be worth it if I feel anything in my calf/soleus.. basically pointless. Plus i'm signed up for another 1-mile race on the 14th.

would suck not being able to race Wednesday though.. i've been wanting to do that race for a long time, sounds really fun. You lead out a parade etc.. ie, horn goes off, race goes, and then the parade comes in behind.. and once you finish, you get pizza.

health #1 tho.

peace!!

edit: after I posted this, I got up to walk the dogs etc.. somewhat of a good sign - definitely wasn't expecting it. from my journal entry above:

Bio

was on the couch for a few hours.. replying below etc.. got up to let the dogs check their peeps outside etc, literally no calf pain.. that's how fast this thing can disappear.. but, i'm counting on it coming back soon or by tomorrow morning.. coming back to the point where I know it's there at least.

crazy though..

though, both calves are just "tight/thick" probably from the combo of stretching + long walking.. but crazy how that sharp pain disappeared, at least for now.

Did he really die and come back to life: Yes, this has actually happened twice. Both times Amanda performed CPR on him, the last time for 15 minutes. Only 3% of dogs survive CPR and he has done it twice.

also, tomorrow i'm going to create a small "walking thread" in the running section.. just to jot down some observations.. i dno, there's some weird stuff I notice while walking.. need to keep track of things I notice in a separate thread.

ACHES/INJURIES: throat raw af
SORENESS: none
MENTAL STATE: good

- run x 3.9km
went with the snowflake (adarq and whoever has found me on fb: the blond from the puppy pics) and followed her pace. very easy. knees felt surprisingly awesome, no discomfort anywhere except my throat feels like someone sandpapered it.

- stretch

lol @ snowflake.

nice @ run (except for the throat part)!!!

fast walk: 6.1 mi in 1h:26m:37s
- pace: 14:07 min/mi
- pushed the pace, but tried to do so without tightening up
- felt good/powerful
- right calf barely bothered me and I actually forgot about it for alot of the walk - good sign!! after i got home and cooled down though, hurts.. but still happy about how it felt.

sped up quite a bit at the end.. tried to get sub 13 min/mi but failed: 13:16 .. hit sub 13 min/mi pace quite a bit though.

crazy how fast I was walking a long time ago.. my PR is like 12:2x for a mile, walking? that's nuts (for me).

i don't like how those long slow 'recovery runs' made me feel.. so i might actually replace them with long hard walking..
