Relliptical

Elliptical again this morning. 4 miles. Weee.

Running is on tap for Wednesday after a day of rest and hydration tomorrow. Keep your fingers crossed for me.

Gym 5

I hit the gym this morning for 5 miles on the eliptical. Not sure how they determine distance on a machine that turns your legs in circles, but it said, "5", and that was the goal. Calf is getting stronger every day. Targeting Wednesday for the first run.

Pop

So, despite my better judgement, I went snowboarding on Saturday and was rewarded with an unwelcome "pop" in my calf area. No real pain, but something definitely wasn't right. I've done some reading and it seems the best course of action is about a week of rest, stretching, ibuprofen, and some strengthening exercises. That will be my program. Figures that I'm finally mentally ready to run and I can't. The thing with a calf stain is that it doesn't feel that bad. Apparently that's the curse. You feel ok, go for a run and set yourself back.

I'm out for a week. I hope to rebound over the weekend.
