4 miles--shorter today!

Today was Thursday, and I am planning on running in a race on Saturday, so I wanted to get a little run in today.  I raced home from work, suited up, and took meds.  I headed out right as my husband was getting home.  Luckily it is staying later every night, so we don't have to finish running by 5:00 to avoid running in the pitch black darkness.
I decided to head east today first so that maybe I would meet up with Chris when he got out there.  I've been running pretty much the same route for months, that it was nice to do something different.  I kept expecting to see Chris, but I never did.  
The only issue I've had a few times now, is that my calves can be sore and tight.  I think it is because I run with a fore foot strike--maybe a little too much.  This is something that I need to research and adjust my form needed.
My time wasn't the best today, but that is ok.  I really jus twanted to get out there and move and run before my big one on Saturday.
