Just easy

Sunday came & went without a run, trying to rest a troublesome heel was the priority. After a poor night's sleep and the build up of man flu I decided to keep to my Tuesday easy run schedule.
The temperature seems to have dropped off the scale in the past couple of days & I instantiated regretted not finding my gloves before heading out. I did at least slather on the Vicks vapour rub beforehand to try and ensure I could breath! I was aiming for 30-40 minutes at an easy pace and my timing seemed fine. After 20 minutes I was able to sleep a couple of gears and up my pace, before bringing it back to easy.
The run was nothing special, just a good way to shake the cobwebs.
More important was the assessment of my physio in the evening. I explained the heel pain and my fear of it being PF returning. He explained it was one of two things. Either it was a simple abrasion issue, caused by footwear, or it was due to a tight calf muscle causing the base of the Achilles to flare. Seeing as the pain is reasonably consistent across footwear, the latter option seems the most likely. I just need to stretch regularly to loosen off the calf.
Hardly a surprise to see my notorious calves cause another injury, at least this one is ok to run on, just makes walking painful!!
