Injury Update:

Yes, I'm upgrading this stupid calf thing from the "minor, running-related aches and pains" category to "full blown injury" status.  It's weird because I feel nothing when walking, even up stairs, and even for a couple of minutes of running, but then all of a sudden it just feels as if something is ripping in my calf/Achilles and I have to stop.  I made it one mile today (not counting a slow warmup), so there is zero improvement over Monday, if it's not actually worse.  Will keep y'all posted.  I'm going to take one more week completely off and then evaluate it again.  On the bright side, for the few minutes I was able to run today I felt fantastic in every other respect.  Hopefully this thing heals quickly so that I don't start to lose significant fitness.

sorry to hear about the calf injury. hope it is nothing too serious and that it can heal up with a bit of time off.

Me too. I've already only run 2 out of the past 11 days, but hopefully just a few more days does the trick.

At least you don't have any races coming up, right?

From Predog on Fri, Nov 12, 2010 at 21:02:19 from 24.10.136.228

Yeah that's true. No wasted race fees. For a poor starving college student that's a big deal. haha

Hope you recover quickly.

try water running in the HPER. A portion of the diving pool is roped off just for that and they have lots of flotation belts. I found it actually helped my calf injury. maybe the water pressure together with the cold water?

Thanks everyone! I seem to have healed up nicely. It's good to have people that will comment and keep me going here. Thanks!
