Week 7 on the IC, done my leg in!!!

Oh dear, after yesterday's run (see previous post) where I set off far to quickly and had to haul myself to 25 minutes I woke this morning with a sore calf which has got steadily worse during the day to the point where I can now hardly walk. Currently sitting with it strapped up and on an ice pack. A hard lesson learned!!!

Ouch.... roll, roll more and stretch when the pain abates... and please, please, do not head out until it feels fine again.. ( if you check out my posts.. you will know why I worry)
