Ok, it's only a mile, but the route takes me up a slow incline for the first half, then kind of evens out- with a little downhill, for the second.

I walked it monday- no problem. Walked it tuesday- my calves were sore, but no problem.

Yesterday, rode my bike for a little bit- flat tire. Then I did some strength and core training for a little under half an hour.

Today, in the drizzle- happy to be off work early- this walk killed me. Almost immediately my calves began to ache. I "toughed" it out- which made me feel like I'm hopeless, but I understand that I'm starting slow for a reason.

Also, I cut about 2 minutes off my previous pace- so I'll take it.

Also, I've set a goal for a mini triathlon at the end of August. I'm going to try my hardest to get there!
