Leg soreness better today.  Left quad hurts more than the right.  Wondered if I favored that side on my run. The calf is injured on the other side.  So it could be possible.

A couple of years ago when I was recovering from a calf strain, but not as bad as this one, I think I favored my other leg.  And that turned into a stress fracture.

Hope to try a road run tomorrow !!

Morning - 

Elliptical - 30:00 - 3 miles run equivalent

Evening - 1 mile run, then walked home 1 mile

Had a twinge in my calf yesterday and today.  Very minimal.  Not sure why...perhaps from the 1 hour elliptical workout on Sunday.  To be safe I did not try to run yesterday.  It was still there today, but like I said, very minimal.  At .6 it was getting tighter.  At .9 I knew I would have to stop so it did not get worse.  I went another .1 just to make a mile.

Calf still a bit twingy.  Took my daughter to get braces today.  She did well.  But it did start to hurt her some tonight.

Left foot felt like it was on fire the last 10 minutes.  It happens all the time on the elliptical.  Friction with the shoe and sock I guess.

Tomorrow I have my department physical.  They used to do lots of tests, but nowadays to save money its just blood work, how you feeling today, and the dreaded finger !!!!

Ran a mile with my wife.  She has been doing some treadmill running lately, but nothing on the roads.  It was fun running with her.  I cannot remember us doing this before.  Calf a little twingy, but ok.
