This is my third week dealing with this calf/soleus strain and I'm going stir crazy from not being outside and running. I am thankful I have been able to ride the trainer and get some endurance activity in the books. For 22 months I have had 100 miles or more running, but it looks like the streak is over. Honestly, I'm a little scared to attempt a run. I am running either today or tomorrow. It's been 5 days since my last failed attempt and I haven't got any soreness to speak of. My goal will be 20 minutes and build up 5 minutes per run.
I didn't do much to #StayHard today other than recovery. My workday was long and I was dealing with a lot of stress. I really need to get out of this funk I'm in. I'm not sure how though.
I fueled my body with pasta with meat sauce. Ice cream and 2 pieces of Kilwin chocolate. 1 glass of wine.
