Damn. Buggar. Bum. In Berlin for work and decided to go for an easy pre-breakfast jog. Felt okay for the first couple of km. Stopped to read the map and when I started to run again I felt my left calf go pop and suddenly very sore and painful. No doubt about it - definitely a pulled calf muscle. Hobbled back to the hotel cursing and muttering. A real shame and this is going to take some weeks to heal. Will probably have to miss the Nationale O race this weekend, which I had been setting myself for.

Easy jog with Freya in Provins. Calf felt okay at this pace and beautiful morning for a short jog around this lovely town.

Woke up on my birthday (always a good way to start one's birthday!) quite early and, given the girls were sound asleep, decided to head out for an early-ish morning ride. Glorious morning - feeling like spring is almost here. Sunny, still, not too cold (6 deg but felt like more), buds on the trees, birds singing. Nice ride out past Versailles, not too strenuous. Good start to the day.

Nice morning for a pre-work run. Feeling pretty good and settled into a nice pace early on, which is unusual for me in the morning. Left calf started tightening up after 2km and very tight afterwards. Need to give it a bit of rest and stretching before next week's Nationale race. Solid run.
