Execution & Reflections:
When I rolled out of bed this morning, I noticed a subtle tingle in my right calf—nothing intense, but just enough to raise an eyebrow. And after the volume I’ve put in this week (and the workouts still ahead), I decided to exercise my option to not exercise.
Rest isn’t quitting—rest is strategy.
With a 120-minute long run lined up for Sunday (and fuel testing on deck), I chose the long game over short gains. It’s easy to feel guilty for skipping a run, but honestly? This was a win in the injury prevention column. Sometimes the best run is the one you don’t do.
Fingers crossed the calf is just whispering—not warning. Tomorrow will tell the tale.
