PM - 4 mile walk with Tracy Finn and Riley on the Milton Trail.  Did a beginning yoga session following.   Think I need some more days of non- running to allow the calf to heal fully.

AM - little bit of this and that.  Some indoor cycling - followed by a run on the treadmill and then some indoor rowing and then stretching/foam rolling.  Calf really did not cause me any issue when running - though the volume low and pace was light - it is not a point even at rest where I can say that the issue is 100% resolved but it is nearly there.  I will continue light efforts and monitor it; but it feels like I am probably good now. Fingers crossed.

PM - 3.5 miles at lunchtime.  Very nice day out.  Second day of a proper run - noticed that my legs have some deep remaining fatigue / soreness / achiness perhaps still recovering from the long race; or alternatively having taken over a week off, they are feeling "off" because of the inactivity.  I think it is the former.  May give myself another day or two of rest.

PM - was not planning to run - wanted to give my legs some more rest, but Riley asked me to run a few miles with her and we brought Finn.  Really nice day to work from home.  Some indoor rowing after.
