Sun 7/21 - double, 1:50 total plus 20 minutes in Walden

AM - 35 minutes very easy. Pre-breakfast shakeout, or more like pre-brunch given how long it took to get out of bed. Ambling, rambling, puttering, stuttering jog around town with various stops including to check out a fledgling sparrow that had fallen out of the nest and picking up someone's mylar balloons littering the edge of the trail. Not the first time I've come across balloons on or near the refuge this year. Got far enough into the trails to pick up a bunch of deer flies, promptly headed back out. Calf really tight and sore, the slow jog did little to loosen it up. Heat wave has finally well and truly broken but still warm out.

PM - 75 minutes easy plus 20 minutes in Walden. The time spent on the calf with the foam roller after lunch helped with the stiffness there, but still moving quite slowly thanks to yesterday's effort. One rogue fly flew right down the hatch and almost made it to the bronchial passage before I was able to hack it back up. Not fun. Other than that a mellow recovery run, no windup or strides near the end.
