The day didn't start too well. Got up to go run and went out the door and felt immediately tightness in the calf. But, also I stepped on a rock yesterday and it is on the left metatarsal that always have problems with, I just can't seem to get a break with that part of my left foot. It hurt so much on the run.
So I didn't run this morning. Frustrated I returned home and threw off the clothes and went to work. At work I had an incredibly busy day that was extremely stressful day. I limped around the office all day with this left foot, not the calf. As the day went on the limp got better.
After work I was walking home and the calf felt pretty good and the limp was gone and I needed to run. So I went and ran 12k, 1.3 to and from the flat, and the rest on the local track (Start Stadium, match of death). In general the left foot was painful and the calf was tight some of the time, but I got the run in.
there were times when the run was quick, but actually it was the slowest 12k I've run in months, I kept slowing it down so that I wouldn't do any damage and that was probably a good thing. It was dark out there and of course going to and from the stadium was loads of fun on our great Kyiv sidewalks and streets. That is always extremely annoying, even knowing that I have no control over those items it is still very annoying and tonight it kind of pissed me off since I had the left foot and the calf to think about as well.
On the track I was able to stay mindful of the foot steps and work hard on keeping the calf from having too much damage. It does feel tight now and I am icing it as I write. I wonder what tomorrow will be like. But right now, I am very happy to have been able to get the run in.
Funniest thing, running up to the track I saw a billboard advertisement, in Ukrainian, about hemorrhoids, absolutely hysterical, out loud I said "I don't have hemorrhoids, but I have a left foot and a right calf that are just about as painful probably.
I'll take the mindfulness for this one. I consider today's run to be a coup.
