12.45km ( easy) | 80:31 Well, CR Horrie said listen to your body. So I did and it wasn't happy. Ice and massage on sore shins and calves was the order for Friday/Saturday. Today I ran on grass only and boy did my legs enjoy it. The perimeter run of Queens Park is about 2.5km long and is mainly flat with a steep rise at the eastern (Waverley) end. I have finished fresh and strong without any pain. I think I will stick with the grass runs until the next Striders race in March. With a bit of luck by then my calves would have strengthened and the inflamation/soreness issues resolved.
