Torn calf muscle.

Posted 01.21.08 by Adrian Ho


I’m a bit embarrassed and sheepish today as I tore a calf muscle last night chasing my dog. It’s the sort of injury you read about old people having – and it means that I’ll be limping around for a couple of weeks feeling sorry for myself and not being able to run.

However, even though I am old(ish), I can still take a little bit of comfort in the knowledge that Seth and Mike (who both take extreme pride in being young – whatever) have still not responded to the challenge I sent them a little while ago (see below). Take your time boys, I’ll be away from running for at least 2 weeks. I’m sure you can beat my time by then.

    Ouch! Sorry to hear that you tore your calf muscle.

    And I have a valid excuse for not responding. It’s the start of Mardi Gras season so my exercising has been replaced by indulgent eating and drinking.

    But, I’m always up for a challenge!

    Had my first run yesterday. Took a page from your book and embraced the cold. Unfortunately my sensor (tied to my laces in the Nathan pouch) did not function as well. As you’ll see according to Nike +, in my 46 minute run (correct) I managed 1.11 miles. I’m going to try it out on the treadmill (and calibrate it) this week. Then, as Sean Connery would say, “the game is on.”

    Get better quickly, Adrian. But indeed, I think you have some time to relax on that run! I’ll have to hope I can get a longer one up there as a challenge. I’m, as you’d expect, El Gaffney.
