OK, ladies. I am home from my trip and have this 5k run event staring me in the face on Saturday. I haven't run since May 17. I am tired and generally worn out from the hilly riding in Spain, as well as the walking, and traveling. I had a massage after the day we did the 10 mile climb and the therapist told me my right calf is a bit tweaked. It's not hurting, but it does feel different than the left. I think walking on cobblestones aggravated this.
I know I can run 5k, although I may be DFL. I plan to go on an easy ride today, run tomorrow, and either rest or ride Friday.
My question is: How does one warm up for an "event" that is so short? Usually, I walk for about 1/3 of a mile on my regular 5k runs. I thought about riding to the run (8 miles), but that might tire me out too much.
Help!
