It's Thursday, so I thought I would pretend I'm in the NFL with a required injury update today. As coach McCarthy would say, "He's got a calf." For whatever reason, the Packers coach just refers to the body part that is injured as the actual injury. I think it's part of how coaches try to hide information about injuries, but I just think it is funny.
Overall, my leg is getting better. Today it was sore and I had to do a couple extra heat and ice treatments, but that is my own fault. I played basketball yesterday, and I played well, then followed it up with a run this morning. By the end of the run I could tell I had pushed it to the limit and it was going to hurt today. The good news is that 12 hours later, it feel like it did before I played basketball yesterday, tight and a little sore.
I'm going to take a rest day tomorrow so I will have a full 48 hours between runs. I have a busy weekend ahead, but I am going to try to get 2 runs in this weekend. I'll do a shorter 2-3 mile run with some strength exercise on Saturday, then a longer 5-6 mile run on Sunday. If I can get through the weekend with my leg continuing to feel better, I know I will be back to 100% soon.
Check back on Sunday to find out how I did!
