broken calf - Sweaty Saturday

Just kidding... but it does hurt a lot.
Just running barefoot through the house to test it before the gym hurt - it's tight and feels like a pulled muscle. BUT it shouldn't hurt, because it's been 1.5 weeks since I ran with the Vibrams.
I *might* have started out too fast.... MAYBE.

But I did workout today. 4 times. (kinda). I did an hour bike in the basement while watching Dexter :)
Then I went to the gym with Julia. We were going to have a bike show-off, but I was insanely bored after 2 miles so I switched to the treadmill.

I forgot to wipe the bike. Ew. Oops.

Treadmill: walking warm-up at 7.5 incline. NOT a good idea for the calf. I pushed it down by .5 each half minute, until I was at 1.0, at which I ran for ~3 mins to 1 mile.

Then I switched th --------------------------------------

Sweaty Saturday :)

Woke up kind of late today at noon. Had some tea because my throat was raw. I blame the bike ride - the air was a bit cold and my throat hasn't been happy since then.

I read a chapter of Social Policy and then had lunch - broccoli and cheese rice :)
I messed around the rest of the day, but I did manage a trip to the gym!

29mins - 3 miles on the elliptical.
My calves still hurt from my run in Vibrams, so I wanted to take it easy today. I couldn't decide between a swim, bike or an elliptical, so I put those options into an online random generator and it picked for me :D

Half an hour later, I feel great but my legs still hurt a bit. I may do some ice soon, and I might use some muscle mist. I'm not sure if the mist helps, but the heat feels lovely.
I may go swimming tomorrow because I want to loosen up my shoulders. However, the pool timings are a bit weird on Sundays, so if I miss the timing, I'll take a rest day :)

Have a great Saturday night! Mine will be spent reading two more chapters before bed!
