Day 8: Long Road; Short Runs

The running continues, more laps and more of the same stretch of road.

A few weeks ago I had a bit problem with my calf muscle which caused me to stop running and then build slowly back up again. In order to build back up, and to make it easier to stop if it flares up again, I've changed my running route so that all I do is short laps. Each lap is just over 5km but I never get more than about a km from my house at any point, the plan being that I can bail out at any point. So far I've been quite happy doing this but there will come a point where the temptation of being so close to home may be a problem when I'm less motivated. We will just have to see.
