Achieved a dubious feat

With this run, now I have run in more countries in the world (30) than in states in the USA (29)! Need to go around running in USA a little bit more.

This was my first run after hurting my left leg. Was a bit relieved that I was able to finish it. Not to take any chances, did a lot of stretching and drank of lot of water this time đŸ™‚

All the bravado about gaining confidence in long runs put to rest :-(

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.
