Injury time out!

I set out to complete my monthly quota today, a nice clear, crisp autumn day. I decided to hit the University/Donahue/Magnolia/Gay route, and had gotten past Woodfield on Gay Street when my calf, which had been tender, went pop. I had to start walking there, and hobbled back home. Sadly, assuming I can't get out before the end of tomorrow, this means I'll be a fraction short of my monthly goal, though I did get one of three half-marathons out of the way, and registered for a second one in January. I think it happened at Gay/Samford. I crossed the street and stumbled on the curb at the gas station there. I managed to right myself, but I definitely got contorted, and nearly bit the concrete.

Hot Hot Hot.

I tried to get out early, but even getting out before 9am doesn't quite count anymore. It is, after all, the Summer Solstice, so it should not be surprising to encounter heat in the morning in Alabama. I'm getting ever closer to my monthly goal, and I skipped the weekend so I knew I had to get out this morning to keep on track. Tomorrow is another 5k which should put me within a scant few thousand feet for June. I ran University-Donahue-Kimberly-Town Creek-Gay-Home
