I took That Guy's advice today. About a half mile into my run this morning my right calf started to get tight. It was sore starting out but nothing to worry about. However, it gradually got tighter and That Guy pulled me over had me stretch for a couple minutes and try again. Still tight. That Guy elbowed me to the ground and demanded I turn around and walk home.
"It's not worth risking it cramping up just to get the morning run in. Besides you can swim or bike tonight." I reluctantly acquiesced to his kind demand and turn around and walked home.
It's a bit frustrating, finally getting in consistent quality runs and now needing to back off. The fortunate part is, perhaps it's because its summer, I have a more positive attitude about swimming and cycling as a recovery alternative. Anyway, time to listen to That Guy, roll the calf, cross train and let it heal.
