On Saturday morning I did a steady-paced (around 8:15 minute miles) half marathon for the first time since the injury. Early in the week I had run a 6 mile and an 8 mile, so I also broke 26 miles in a week for the first time since the injury too. I'm really pleased with the progress, but still get twinges and soreness on a regular basis and have to be wary. The half-marathon on Saturday was amazing, gliding through a misty morning, cool and refreshing, and although the calf had felt uncomfortable following the 8 miles on Thursday it generally felt good for the long run - lowering the pace, even slightly, is definitely the key.
