Week 9 run 2 (penultimate graduation run)

27 mins in 3 mins from home, left calf muscle suddenly cramps up! Very painful, tried to run through it but had to stop running, can’t believe how close I got! I think I have strained | pulled the muscle as still very painful 5 hours later.

How frustrating! I was derailed by a pulled calf muscle back in week 6, so can only imagine how it must feel so close to graduation. Rest up, gentle stretches and remember you could be running for the rest of your life, so what’s a few days delay 😉
