Took the kids down to Narrabeen beach in the rain for something to do. I started a run along the beach, but while the sand running seems to less impact stress on the calf, the hard work caught up pretty quick so I abandoned and went back and played with Will on the see-saw in the park.

Yep, the calf problem is back, this time in the R one. As soon as I get a run of runs happening...

Feels like a cramp deep down the centre of my calf, quite a specific strip above the achilles that happens on the contraction of the muscle during 'lift-off'. It will go away if I dont run for say 2 weeks but will definitely return after a week of running. It has occurred in both calves, last time after easter in the L one, hanging around until october, went away and was replaced with upper hamstring pain which is much more manageable.

Anyway, jogged to Kirribilli, past the PMs and GGs houses and back, with periods of uphill walking on the the way back.

Up to Tunks Park and back via West St. R calf started getting ominously painful down the hill and didnt let up, so the spirited run became a less spirited jog/dawdle.
The new Helly Hansen top worked a treat, thanks Dave for the great present!

2 points run - Balls Head and Berry Island. After Berry Island headed up Gore Creek to Wollstoncraft station then home. A quite humid morning. Felt reasonable once I got going.

Headed up to Chittaway Point for a great xmas lunch at grandads, 4 generations of family eating quite alot of food.

Across the Bridge and back in the morning. Out via Lavender Bay and Luna Park. Felt quite tired this morning but it was a nice and warm.

Around Balls Head in the morning. I cant remember the last time I started a run in the morning with the clock having a 6 at the start.
Very nice run, I wish I was a morning person so I could do this more regularly. Slow as.

Around Kirribilli at night, once the day had quietened down.
It was nice running past the carols concert under the north end of the Bridge.

Decided to head over and do Berry Island instead of Balls Head.

Slogged it out around Balls Head. Quite tired and very unfit.
