Mon 1/16 - PM 60 minutes incl. mile, 3(110-150-220)

Quasi-workout on the track, something that was unthinkable four days ago. Calf still vulnerable, felt a twinge on the last 110 when I had to stop short to avoid colliding with a kid jogging in lane 1, but overall a very positive experience. Initially planning on doing glorified strides only, after getting through the warmup drills and strides in one piece wearing thin-soled shoes I decided last minute to try a steady-paced mile at the outset. Looking for something in the 5:30 range, controlled and not all out, just to see how the leg would react. Ended up running 5:17 (2:39/2:38), more effort than I would have liked at the end to run this speed but still under control. After a 3.5 minute break, 3 sets of the glorified strides with ample recovery--lap and a quarter after each 110, lap and a half after each 150 (which was less than a 150, not sure by how much). 3.5 minutes between sets. The times were nothing spectacular, basically everything around 72 pace. Not looking to do anything but survive the effort with the calf staying in one piece however. Also still digesting a too-large lunch and feeling a bit flat as a result. Some stiffness in the left ankle afterward, something that I noticed yesterday as well when the calf felt better. Hopefully, I'll be able to get some actual training in from here on out. Old fart mile this Sunday is tentatively back on, although it won't be anything pretty.
