Its very windy again today - when isnt it? - but at least its not a freezing cold wind and its very pleasant to be outside with the sun shining again. A lot of rain fell last night and so I was splish-splashing about in the puddles though I have to do this quickly as I am a wimp when it comes to getting wet feet as I just hate running with squelchy socks.
Hubby has a cold and when I took my Resting HR this morning, it was 53 (average over 2 minutes) instead of yesterday's 47, so I will take care as it could mean I am going to come down with the cold. Then again, it could mean nothing and I am just panicking. Anyway, I felt ok so I did an easy run for an hour, hoping the dodgy calf wouldn't be any trouble today.
The calf tightened up at about 4.5 miles, which is twice as good as yesterday, and with a little stretch was ok again. Other than that, everything is feeling good so I am a happy bunny again. I had to deviate from my usual route because the road was closed for trials starting tomorrow (I live on an MOD establishment and we have to put up with this sort of thing sometimes) so I don't know the exact distance.
Approx 5 miles
59 minutes
Average HR 146
Peak HR 165

totally agree - running in wet socks = very bad mood. Go careful with that calf!
