1. Warm-up

Consider doing laps in which you start at the corner of Evans and Gardner, walk down to Evans and Douglas, run to a RIGHT on Homestead, then a RIGHT on Gardner, then back to the start. This may be the nearest plausible loop for up-tempo runs. Give it a try.

Dead-lifts, 6, 90k

3. FitDeck, 11 x :54 rounds

2. This went OK, but I really struggled with the hand-stand push-ups. Don't know why I am pushing to do this in such a constrained time-frame. Might be better to give it the full 20:00, more rest and total focus on form in all the exercises.
3. Finished the deck again!
Note, the left quad still hurts.

Felt the Soleus for the rest of the day after 1:00 of running. Reading a lot on the boards and the injury sounds like a Soleus strain - literally a tear in the Soleus muscle (relevant symptoms, beyond the location of the injury, include the fact that the pain is a show stopper - anyone who talks about "running-through" the injury, or about how it felt better as the run progressed, or about how it hurts more to walk than run, does not have what I have).
Anecdotcal and clinical evidence suggests that 10-14 days-off from running is the best bet.

Another strategy - given that runners regularly report that they feel no pain, complete a run, feel fine, go out for a second run a day later and have a recurrence of pain - would be to avoid running entirely until Day Zero and figure that my general fitness will carry me through any task, especially if I take the running nice and easy.
