When I woke up this morning my calf was still hurting so I was worried about it throughout the whole race. But then halfway through it loosened up and started to feel much better so that is a good sign. Ha! I think this "minor inconvenience" is a way of humbling me, because I think if I had not hit this minor bump in the road I would have just kept trying to do more and more. It is already feeling MUCH better and I know that if I give it lots of good rest and more iceing Sunday, I'll be ready to go next week and hit my goal at Cedar. Today at the relay my team won once again and we finished uncontested this year winning by probably like 5 minutes. I could not get my GPS watch to start but all I know is that I ran approx. 6 miles (5.95 I think) in approx. 35 minutes. I know I went not very fast the first half of the race, but coming back the last 2-3 miles I started moving. It was good fun. Hopefully my gut is right and I'll be ready to go again by Monday :)
