Decided to get off of the greenbelt and run around town. Got a nice taste of Mass. -- old farmhouses, a 1660s cemetery and a bunch of Elizabeth Warren campaign signs.

Bad news. So, I'm running along feeling good. Trying to get a few miles in before Saturday's race and at about 7 miles BAM my right calf starts to hurt really badly. Unfortunately I was 2 miles from home, so I walked the rest of the way. This doesn't look good.

I got up and got ready for the race two Saturdays ago and ran around the block. The calf started hurt really bad after a few hundred yards. So I didn't race and didn't run for over a week.

This morning I decided to give it a try. It started hurting a little bit after about a quarter mile, but didn't get much worse so I kept running. Came home and iced it. Hope it heals soon.

I took yesterday off and went out again today. I still felt it in the calf, but never felt pain. Did 7 miles and didn't feel bad. I think I'm back. I hope I'm back.

Calf felt good. Nice to be back running again. Next week I'll work on speeding up a bit.

The battery on my Garmin watch went out this morning. Hope it isn't dying.

Shorter than usual for a Saturday, but I still don't want to push it.
