Hi TheEd,
hope you're well!
This week has been a struggle mentally to be honest. I've been feeling my right leg, mostly calf here and there. Did yoga on Mon, took rest on Tue, on Wed got shocked by the discomfort borderline pain when playing tennis. Having hard time pinpointing the location, but it's either in the lower leg around shins/calf and/or in the hamstrings. I feel that I must have injured something in the hip while pistol squatting, that pulls on the hamstrings and calf, maybe pinched sciatic nerv?..The sensation radiates through the whole leg, making me feel the bone structure almost.
Went for an easy 30min run yesterday, was ok, however it's definitely still there.
Feel like going out for a run now, but don't want to trigger any more pain making things worse.
Otherwise seeing it as an invitation to rest, recover and move into build up. I have tennis next week both Tue and Wed, what would be optimal to approach the new part of the program? I also have a physio appointment on Mon.
Bummed though that I've managed to have only one 'race' throughout these months...but I guess it's also part of the learning, getting to know oneself when things don't go the way you've imagined
Wishing you a great weekend,
Stacy.
