I somehow managed to avoid being rained on this morning (as Edinburgh's 2 days of summer seem to be over again for this year). Calves really feeling achey today (particularly my left one) but then I guess I have forced my poor tendons into flat shoes more in the last few weeks than I have in YEARS.
I did have to pause half way round my run today to stretch them out a bit, and it was a bit of a painful limp home which affected my walk pace quite a bit (although randomly was a lot better when actually running). I'm stretching them a lot, even on rest days, so I wonder if I should be resting them more to let them recover.
Oddly my last 3 minute run was probably the fastest paced, and most comfortable I did. Possibly because I spotted someone ahead of me, and not that I was trying to match her pace (as she was obviously a better/faster/more experienced runner than I), but having someone to watch helped me get more into my stride - whereas before I'd been feeling a bit lumpy and heavy of leg.
