This morning, I am happy to say that I got out for my first run in 7 days. My calf muscle injury is still there, but I felt good enough to put in eight slow miles on a very flat surface. I got home and have been icing it down now for about the last two hours. I am about 70% I would guess.
Judy the Trainer suspects that I damaged my soleus muscle. A trip to this cool website (Click to go to SportsInjuryClinic Website) seconded the opinion. They even had a picture with an arrow right to where I hurt!
The fix is basically time. Ice, time and taking it easy.
Anyways, I am back on the road. Happy to be running, even if I am doing it on the equivelant of one of those cheesey little spare tires that come with small cars...not very far and not very fast.
Happy none the less!
