Might have over done it

Monday was a rest day

Tuesday was another rest day because my legs felt tired and I didn't ahve much energy

Wednesday I had a PT session booked.  She mainly worked my legs and core with a little bit of arm stuff.  Really hard work but I enjoyed it.  Then I went for a swim afterwards, which didn't feel too abd as I was using different muscles.

Thursday I woke up aching and stiff from the PT session, and then it all went wrong.  When I got out of the car at running club something sort of felt wrong in my calf.  I put it down to the PT session and the cold weather and did a few more stretches then normal before the run.  During the first mile it didn't feel right, but it wasn't hurting to I decided to keep going.  I took it easy and did my slowest run of the year but even that was too much.  I woke up on Friday morning with pain in my calf before I even got out of bed.

I think I might have a slight calf tear.  Nothing too bad as I can still walk pain free and managed to go bowling last night without any discomfort at all.  But I have an area of calf that feels bruised if I poke it gently.  So no running for me for a few days.  I'll miss a long run, but so be it.  Best to rest now than to compromise my ability to run races.

I have a sports massage booked for Monday so I will ask her to take a look at it.  I plan to swim over the next few days, and maybe spinning if it doesn't hurt but no running at all.
