Stiff calves
I went jogging for half an hour yesterday, 2.87 miles (=4.6km)!
Did intervals a little, changing the speed from time to time, every 5min or so I think. THen I stretched for at least half an hour, and I am definitely getting more flexible each day now, as long as i remember to stretch every day. Great feeling!
But one thing: after I started jogging here (in the US) I've been feeling like my calves are getting very stiff, they feel tense all the time, even when I'm not working out. I feel it when I walk, and sometimes even when I'm just sitting still.
So last night I massaged it, and I'm gonna keep doing that every night. It feels a little better already, so hopefully it's working!
I don't want to have to stop running because my calves can't take the base/foundation I am running on... This is usually a treadmill, but i go outside sometimes, and there there is concrete all the way, bad stuff. Don't like it. Hopefully my running technique will improve and my body will adapt and feel better about it after a while. But I miss my backyard forest...!
And was a good girl last night - managed to have a smaller dinner with the salad I usually have, then some vegetables and rice. Dropped dessert (haven't ever actually started having dessert, but you know) and this morning I weighed 2pounds less than I have this past week, so good stuff :)
