A Weird Coincidence

July 31, 2017 (Afternoon)

Exercise Type: Run

Comments:
Ran on the same road as yesterday, but from the other direction, so I could see the half mile that I didn't get to. There are more mountain views from this direction, but much more shade on the other end. It was also a bit hotter and more humid today, so not quite as lovely a run, but still felt pretty good. I think I'm just getting to the point where I'm starting to feel more in shape which is exciting, but no matter what I do, my calves are just so painful and tight after a couple minutes of running. I'm able to run through it, but they hurt, and the run would just be that much better if they didn't. I literally spent half an hour before running stretching, rolling, and massaging them over and over, and it made no difference, so I just don't know what to do anymore. I guess I just have to live with them for now. Still had a pretty good run despite them, and my legs feel nice and tired because we went for an hour hike before running that was very uphill. Oh, and the weird coincidence is that I was paying attention to the addresses on the road for a landmark to map the run from, so yesterday I ran until 401, and today I ran from the other direction to 104. Random? I think not! ;) Oh and also, I'm very proud of how steady I was: I came back only 10 seconds slower than I went out! I apologize for how unneccesarily long this log is; when I'm away I think I get lonely and this feels like company!
