Yesterday I planned to do 10k easy run. Parked my car near the park, planned a perfect route in my mind and started slowly. First kilometer was good enough except that chosen route still had some traces of winter. Won a fight against the icy uphill and moved to clear paths. And then the pain struck my left leg. My leg felt like made of stone. I am still not sure what caused the pain or even what hurts. Is it Periosteum or is it muscle but with every step it was harder to run. I thought 10 k is not so much and I will complete it. But when i noticed that I started to limp decided that it is time to turn around and get back.
Today my leg is better but I think I will skip today training to give some rest. I feel terrible skipping training with 7.5 weeks left to my first 2018 half marathon. I planned to do my first 10k race this year but I have to skip it as well or at least reduce distance to 5k.
Shame on me...

There's no shame resting an injury. Give your leg a break - you have plenty of time to be ready for your half. If you make the injury worse by pushing on, you might not make the startline.

True. Problem is that I had a surgery in Autumn and get back to running only from 1st of January. I don't feel ready for the HM yet. Hope everything will be ok :)

Rest up for a couple of days and then try again. Try to be patient. Hope it recovers quickly.

The day has only 23 hours and not 24, do you know why? Because one hour is booked always for running.

Injures are part of the athlete's life. Rest, maybe go to the physiotherapist, try with cold baths (only the leg) :-) and eat well.
You will get recovered faster

It's probably better to rest a few days than running with the pain and worsen it!
