I’m still having issues with my left calf. I’ve decided that, rather than take an ad hoc and random approach to its healing, I am going to employ a more structured program. I’ve mapped out a very minimal running regime over the remainder of the year, supplemented with some exercises. The aim is to be back to my completely uninjured self by NYE, ready to hit the New Year free of any issues.

The photo below is another from the Big Sur stretch of coast in California, between San Francisco and Los Angeles. This was taken very early in my world run. I remember the time very fondly. As I’ve said before, this bit of coastline is very similar to that around Stanwell Park, between Sydney and Wollongong.
