Wednesday, I had some time after work to stop by Shady Canyon and run what is known as the Quail Hill Loop. The nearly two mile loop is incredibly green this time of year. With views of Saddleback Mountain, cool weather and new shoes, it all looked good for a nice run. Problem was: my shins and calves were so tight they hurt. The first two miles of my loop I needed to stop again and again to vigorously stretch. Finally, about mile two, my calves and shins eased up (a tad!). I can’t tell you that I didn’t worry that I bought the wrong pair of shoes. (yikes!!) By mile six (the last mile), I felt okay. Just okay.
