Strong 9 km run today but ending in calf pain.

Had a great run this morning with Glynis through Cedervale. 9 km? I forgot to press the Start button on my watch until at least 1 km in- oops :) We went the easier way (counter-clockwise) and it felt faster than last week. Still averaging around 5:50 per km though. Thought it would have been faster. It was a nice strong run and I felt proud that I powered up the last hill near Heath!
When I got home though my right calf was sooo sore. I iced on and off for half hour and took some Ibuprofen.
I hate aches and pains. I hope the pain goes away QUICKLY. I get so nervous about having injuries. This better not be 'an injury'. I really hope it is just a sore muscle from today only.

I must remain calm and positive...breathe...

Good thing I have great massage therapists in my contact list if I need them.  :)
Chris from Summerhill Health and Peter, Toronto Physiotherapy, used to work on the Olympic Team and Thinking about calling Peter is NOT a positive, calming thought though. I must slow down my thinking.

Just Breathe.....

Time to have some lunch, do some housework, walk the dog and mail a letter.

3 hrs later... Calf is still feeling too tight but no longer sore.  Next few days I will ice, stretch and take it easy.
