Slowly but surely?

I'm not sure about the 'surely' but the 'Slowly' hits the nail on the head. I've just spent the most painful week with massive cramping on one of my calves. Still, each day I was out there walking to try and loosen up but as soon as I would try to run and this old body would slam down on that leg ... it was over for that day.

Yesterday I walked vigorously 3 miles and adjusted my stride a bit and ran .5 miles. Today, after working a 14 hour shift and walking 12+ miles with work boots I came home and was able to carefully run .75 miles. Well, doesn't sound like much but these are all the first steps toward my goal of a 100 miler.
