The FVRP wasn't too happy about running hills this afternoon, but it had to be done. He suffered a little as we went out against the wind, walking a few times, but on the return route we had the wind at our backs. He misheard his Nike app and thought we had a half-mile to go when in reality we had a full mile. By that time he was feeling better and kicked it in. I made a remark about it and he asked how much more we had to go, which at the time was still over half a mile. We kept running faster and I thought my new Garmin was giving an incorrect pace, especially when we went sub-8. By the time we finished the 6 miles the pace showed as 7:20, and our last mile was done in 8:07. Not bad for a couple of older guys. The last part felt good.
My left calf was a little cramped today, the first time I've felt that since I started foam rolling. I did an extra-long rolling session this evening and I'm hoping that will help for the long run in a few days.
