Monday's swim was fairly steady. My left shoulder was a bit achey at full extension but it doesn't seem to be affecting my stroke or pace.
Tuesday I just took an easy day in the gym. Sat on the bike for a lazy 45mins.
Wednesday was a flexi-day so I planned to do a long ride or long run and then adjust my weekend to suit. Then spent half the day holding hands at the dentist again. In the afternoon I did some wii fit, yoga and steps and then went out for a longer run in the evening. Then I did a stretching session before bed.
Thursday I woke up and almost fell over climbing out of bed. Something in my right calf is very painful. It seems to ease off quite quickly if I walk on it but as soon as I sit down for 5 minutes or more it stiffens up and is intensely painful to move again. There is also an area about the size of a tennis ball that is too sore to touch. Since it eases off when moving I thought it would be ok to run on so I took a lap around Dyce. It was ok as long as we were moving but stiffened up as soon I stopped. I tried stretching again at night but it didn't help.
Friday I went to the gym and sat on the exercise bike for an hour. The niggle was there occasionally but it was fine to just tick over. Then went to see Dracula Untold, it is frankly beyond terrible.
Saturday I decided to be sensible and stay off my calf and see if that helps any.
Sunday I went for a very slow and easy bike around Dyce. I didn't want to stray too far from home in case I had more calf problems so I just did a couple of laps around the airport. Took me up to my bike miles target for the week. And got me some extra time on my work's Health Challenge.
So my cunning plan for a long week and plenty of running has not gone well. But I have clocked my longer cycling week despite picking up an injury.
