Some days, just don't go the way you hoped they will.
Today was the day of Leeds Abbey Dash, and since Monday, I've been struggling with a calf issue. After nearly a week of resting it, I set off this morning, and I still wasn't sure if I was going to run it or not. Arrived in Leeds and decided I would give it a go no pushing it. My plan was just to get round. The first mile felt great, and the pace was good, well for me. I got close to 2nd mile, and I started to feel the ni**le, carried on a for a bit and decided I need to stop to prevent any further damage. Stopped the watch and ended up deleting the 2 miles I'd done 🤦♀️. The race number came on and off 3 times, and then I finally made the decision to stop and walk back to meet the others I'd gone with.
Today wasn't my day, and I was gutted, but on reflection, I know I made the right decision
