Unplanned Rest Day

Friday: I kept my son home from nursery as he was under the weather, so this meant no running today. The right calf and knee were twinging at irregular intervals, but it feels a lot more normal in the evening. It's been a while since it felt so fine, I realise that the unexpected day off running is a blessing in disguise. I hope to be out running tomorrow, and since it is the weekend, I will need to be up very early. Hopefully my right leg will perform better after all this rest. My online trainer suggests my shoes may be the cause the problem with my right leg and I intend to see a specialist running shop for advice. I think it's possible I am just not resting it sufficiently or am putting too much weight or pressure on it. However, the experts obviously know best, so I will have a better idea once I see someone. I hope the shoes are not the issue, partly because I do really like my shoes (they are still very new and very comfy) and partly because of cost (I am not keen on spending lots of money on new trainers, less than two months after my last pair). But the main thing is to make sure my legs are okay, obviously. Looking forward to running tomorrow, the weather seems to be improving, but I am happy for it to rain :o)
