And it continues...

My calf has been feeling good.  I haven't felt any soreness or any twinges for a few days.  I wanted to give running a try yesterday in the nice weather, but I decided that another day of rest would be better.  I put off my run until this morning and after spending some time on my feet I decided it was time to try the calf.

I put on my calf sleeve and some running clothes and ventured out.  Things were feeling good and I went through the first mile without incident.  I was about a 1/4 mile into the 2nd mile and BAM!  There it was again.  I was paying attention to my stride, and foot strike and making sure my feet were off the ground quickly.  I stopped, I did a quick stretch and turned around to head for home.

The pain wasn't as bad as it has been previously.  In fact it doesn't even hurt as I sit here right now. Maybe that was the 4 Advil I took earlier though.  I iced it once I got home and a few hours later.  I'm gonna stop trying to stretch it out and will stop the use of my Strassburg sock for the remainder of the week since I am not sure it's even helping this issue.

I'll rest some more and we'll see how it's feeling this week.  The half marathon is on the 2nd.  I'm really worried that I won't be able to run it, or I will have to DNF.

We'll see. Now where's my ice pack?
