The 5K run finished up at Publix today because I was running low on Barista milk for cappuccino. For a brief moment, I considered ditching the plastic bag, grabbing the two cartons in my hands and running back home.

The prospect of the security guy putting in a spirited run behind me like he was trying to take down a shoplifter quickly disabused me of any such misadventures. In fact, walked back slower than normal 🙂 (Okay, okay, the left knee pain might have something to do with it)

Went to Alpharetta green near our house. Lots of people out there on such a glorious day.

Third consecutive run. I am willing to say now that the leg is completely back.

The road back to running has begun again

Remember how I posted about gaining confidence in longer runs every Saturday? Well, that could not have been more misplaced! In a few hours, while trying to hit a volleyball in the Green in downtown Alpharetta, badly pulled the upper left calf muscle.

That should be a lesson for me to stretch before and after long runs and keep drinking water.

Hobbling fairly badly now, but can move myself from Point A to Point B. Stairs are also okay as long as I do not put weight on my left leg while it is straight.

Now, if I can put another long run on Saturday, then that will really, really get my confidence back.

Brought back a lot of memories of the two girls growing up with horses

After three successive Saturday morning 10K runs, getting some confidence back in running longer distances.
