Catch Up

Got in a run home from work on Friday night and from the first step it was painful as the heart just wasn't in it. Left calf was very tight and just didn't feel good the whole way home but sometimes these are the runs that toughen you up mentally. Slow run with a heavy backpack and stats are at http://connect.garmin.com/activity/413909248.
Calf didn't feel right all weekend so got the bike out on Sunday morning for the first time in about 8 months. Did 5 laps of the park, pretty much averaging 30km pace, for 25kms all up. Very happy in that the cardio felt fine - just the use of the bike muscles and lactic build up that was unpleasant. Stats for the ride at http://connect.garmin.com/activity/413909242
Decided to see how the calf was at Monday Hurts and did plenty of stretching before hand. Felt surprisingly all right although easy pace all the way for the 10kms back to CQ with MC, Jit and LF Charlie among the crowd. Stats from that run at http://connect.garmin.com/activity/413909238.
Pilates today for the first time in about 2 months and will be pretty much guaranteed some core pain tomorrow. Meeting Anna and the kids for lunch so aiming to get out for a swim first thing.
