Was supposed to run a basic 5 miles tonight. I still could. It's only 9:40PM and I like night running. But my calf has me worried. I tweaked it on Sunday, thought it was okay yesterday even though I chose to pedal the elliptical instead of run, but today I can feel it when I flex or stretch it. I don't think it was merely a cramp now. I must have torn a few fibers or something. I'm thinking it might be wise to give it some more rest, especially with the AFC getting so close.
Not running means I'm going to give back a couple hundred Kcals in my weekly calorie deficit objective. That's not so important right now. I'd rather avoid or at least minimize injury. I'll just have to double-time it on the rower or in the pool. (Where the heck are my trunks, anyway?)
Took Quin and Bailey to Knott's Berry Farm today. It was okay. Kids had fun. It was cool and overcast in San Diego, but Buena Vista Park was warm and sunny. Work tomorrow is going to be a bear since I took all day off today. I hope I won't be going back to a buzz saw.
Watching today's TdF stage on DVR. Fun to see Lance in the breakout group, but I keep waiting for the drama between Schleck and Contador to develop. Doesn't look like it's going to happen today.
