I'm trying to get back into running since I didn't run much in Haiti, except at recreation, when it was chasing down frisbees or giving a million piggy back rides ("NON! I can only carry one of you at a time, you have no idea what I am saying, un! Un! Seulement! Pas deux! Pas trois! Okay?!"), and it's... well, it's going.
It was going pretty well, but yesterday my calves were sore before and after my morning run, so when I went to the Hooch for a walk, I planned to take it easy. Once I got off the main bike trail, though, and into the muddy, hillier areas, I suddenly found myself running. It probably wouldn't have been so bad if I hadn't been wearing my light hikers, instead of my nikes or VFFs. So of course, I went back to the river this morning- this weekend, it's freeeeee!- and ran in my VFFs, so the run was easier at first and then my calves hurt so badly I had to keep stopping and stretching.
The only thing that got me through it was the Stuff You Should Know podcast, which is pretty magical AND available on iTunes.
