Long Run

Knocked out the first longish run today. I was worried about going long after yesterday's 10k for time. I developed tightness in the upper right side of my calf shortly after yesterday's run. Some ice and light stretching loosened it but I decided to wait until later in the day to do my 1.5 hour run.

Got a quick 30 minutes on the bike to loosen up and then headed out into the 50 degree day. The first 30 mins the calf was tight, but then I realized I was over striding. Quick adjustment and the calf was fine the rest of the way. More ice is needed now, but tomorrow's a day off with a nice recover swim so I'll have time to work it out. Total run came in at 10.96 miles.

Summary:

Bike: 30 mins

Avg HR: 141

Run: 1.5 hours

Distance: 10.96

Avg HR: 151
