Fartlek Night!

Okay, so I was going to wait until later in the evening, but clouds rolled in and the temps dropped to the low 90's. Since I had computer work to do, I went for it. 5 miles including fartleks, and of course it had the usual bit of drama.

I was doing 6-4-3-2-1 intervals, and halfway through the 3-minute speed run I felt a sharp pain in my right calf. I went about 200 yards to see if it would go away quickly, and it didn't. So I walked for a little bit, found a curb, stretched my calves, and continued on. No problems after that, but for a few moments I thought I was going to have to hobble back home. I blame the new shorts. Or the new socks. It had to be one of the two.
