Sat 5/10 - PM 50 minutes easy

Area 51. The day began with the right calf locking into exquisitely painful spasm when I did a full body stretch and squeeze while lying half-awake in bed. This put a damper on things right from the get-go, and certainly suggests that the race yesterday left more of a mark than I had initially figured. I had planned on running in the morning either before or after breakfast but decided to wait instead, perhaps in the vain hope that the right leg would feel better for it. As it was I headed down the street with a tentative mincing stride. Improved more than I would have dared to hope by the end, aided by a couple of stretching breaks. Still far from spry of course. Morning rain gave way to much warmer temps as the front passed through between breakfast and lunch. First day with noticeable humidity and warmth combined. Pollen is starting to crank up as well.
