%$%#$%@ Calf problems!!

Week  of Pain:

Monday:  30 min on the trainer with high resistance, followed by immediate 2.5 mile run on treadmill.   A good little time to workout effort.  HR in the 160s on the bike and 180s on the run.

Tuesday:  After a trail warmup from Broadway, a hilly 8 mile tempo run at Saguaro Monument East.  56 total minute effort with long interval/fartleck work.  Then a trail cool down.  Sore and stiff from the steep ups/downs.  11.5 mile total.

Wed:  Day off

Thursday:  Before work 35 minute indoor trainer.  After work weights

Friday:  Before work 30 minutes on the indoor trainer.  After work 6.5 treadmill.  Nice and easy at 7.7-8.8.

Saturday:  On call at the hospital for 24 hours.  Before got on the treadmill for a goal slow 4-5 miles.  At 2.8, for no $%&$# reason, my calf balls up.  End of run!  I'll just say it FUCK!!

Sunday:  Today, after a night a wrapping my calf, I thought of spinning on the bike instead of going for the planned 6 mile run, but opted out.  Thought about getting in the pool, and tried to motivate myself with the hot tub first.  The pool is at 56 degrees.  I am a whimp!  Feeling so especially, after my daughter jumps in after a moth.  I go have some coffee.  In Russian fashion (Where vodka cures all ailments), I add some vodka and some holiday cheer to the coffee.  Some egg nog.  No work out.  Depressed.  Have no idea why I share this to cyberspace.  Maybe somebody will get a laugh from my pathetic weekend.   I hope everyone out there has a great week.
