Notes

This was a tough run. First 4 miles I run O.K and was very careful of sensing the body. I was running a very easy pace (10 min per mile) with focusing in good form and upright body posture. Today is extremely humid and hot. From 5.5 mile onwards I was planning to increase slightly speed but nothing drastic. I did so for the next couple of miles. As I was approaching 7 to 8 mile back started niggling a bit. My right leg below the calf muscle was really bothering me badly. I experienced sharp shooting pains down the leg and it felt that I would have to stop for a moment. It was so bad that I could not balance myself properly and adjust body posture. I was taken by surprise but carried on running and slowing gradually down so to make it home. I knew I had to run another 3 miles and was worried whether I would make it. Also I did feel on many occasions I would have to give up. However, the closer I was getting to home the more determined I became to carry on. I was surprised that I run the last mile home wihtout pain free. Still I cannot understand how this happened. But arriving home I did a few stretches as I had a lot of cramps on both legs. Today was also extremely humid and sticky. This was a very easy but tough run.
