Notes:
\nThis was supposed to be a 5-mile run at pace but I had to stop walking\/running at around 1.7 miles. Crazy thing happened — both calves seized up; the left moreso than the right. But let me\u00a0go back…\u00a0\u00a0The calves already felt tight starting on Monday (oddly, I was fine on Sunday) and on Tuesday I wore my ‘anti-embollism’ compression thigh-high tights lol (medium graduated compression: 15-21 mmHg). They felt fine whilst I wore the tights and since I took them off before bed, I didn’t really feel them again until this morning.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Anyway, my compression calf sleeves for running are more like light<\/em> graduated compression and held up for me for the past 2 or 3 runs that I’ve worn them; today, however, I felt like I needed more — or maybe I should’ve just rested my legs some more or ‘rolled it’.\u00a0 So yeah, I stopped running just after a mile and as soon as I got home, iced both calves. Ugh. Gonna do more research on calves tomorroz and will elevate them tonight.<\/p>\n

For posterity:\u00a0(LOL these have to be my shortest run recorded on Nike+ and Garmin… Evar!)<\/p>\n

Garmin Connect<\/a>. Nike+<\/p>\n

p.s., Oh shapz! I got a message on the Nike+ running website (upon logging in) that my sensor is on it’s last leg! AHHHH. Should I hax it to death\u00a0and replace the battery<\/a> myself or should I buy a new sensor for 20 bucks… Hmmm…<\/p>\n

p.p.s., Quick research on tight calves and running led me to this article: http:\/\/www.betterbodz.com\/team\/aching.html<\/a>\u00a0— silly me; I have The Stick<\/em> but haven’t used it in a while. >_<<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
