Back to square one

Not the week I hoped to have.  My calf was strained/pulled at mile 4 of Mt Washington.  I iced like mad this week and went to physical therapy.  By Friday I was feeling pretty good, by Saturday my Mountain running season was over.  On a flat stretch of road after doing an easy run up/down Signal mountain my calf pulled even worse than before.  I hobbled the last 1/2 mile and knew I wasn't going to be able to run at Cranmore.  So a week of promise ended with me working at the US mountain champs instead of running.  Such are the vagaries of life.

M - Lunch 4 in 30:30, PM massage, PT and 8 miles at Winni in 57:58
