Strained calf

Two weeks ago during my double-20km run, I spent the entire second half with a sore right calf. I believed that was due to some kind of cramp and didn't make much of it. Unfortunately, last week-end the ache was back and did not leave me. I guess I've strained my calf to grade 1, and need at least 2 weeks rest.

My plan was to run a final Thames Path recce of the Oxford to Source section, and then attempt the TSQ on the week-end of the 1st July. This might then have to wait until the week-end of the 22nd, which is becoming dangerously close to the Olympics...

Ultra annoying

At first, I thought you had an issue with an injured bovine, but this is actually pretty annoying... Can physiotherapy / massages help getting you back on track quicker?

I could even have titled it "Pulled calf"...

Not much to do about it aside from rest and ice.
