A bit nippy out.

The calf muscle felt good so on went the trainers and out I went for Wk8 r3.

Despite having to run in compacted icy snow for much of the run I managed to stay vertical and enjoyed my run immensely. The calf hurts again now but I don’t care, I ran 5 k in 33 minutes.

I had to run a bit longer than the 28 as I was still a long way from base and I’m buggered if I’m walking back in that temperature.

Signed up for park run now so watch this space.

Don't push too hard... and do not ignore calf pain... it can be the first sign of a hidden injury.

Being enthusiastic is brilliant:) Being injured..less so :(
