1x800m @ 2:20 and strides

I started with an 800m @ 2:20 then had to stop.   On my second interval I felt my left calf tightening up so I decided to stop before I would pull a muscle.  The freezing temperature contributed to my muscle tightness.  I did some running around yesterday on the streets of Portland in the wrong shoes and my calves let me know today.  I also will make sure to take at least two days of easy recovery between track sessions. 48 hours is the magic number for the minimal recovery time between track sessions. The next days will just be easy distance running, stretching, and foam roller. I also scheduled some massage therapy tomorrow.
