30 minute elliptical trainer,

I tried to run today to see how my left calf would react.  After a 5 minute warm up and started slowly jogging.  After 5 minutes my calf started to hurt.  I'll email the doctor today and see what he has to say about it.  I think I'm going to take at lesat 2 weeks off from running and any high impact activity to let it rest.

30 minutes elliptical trainer.  I traded emails with the ortho office.  It sounds like I strained my medial gastroc.  The nurse recommended I spend a longer period warming up before running.  He reminded me that I had been pretty sedentary for a few months before/after surgery and my muscles will require time to bcome reconditioned.  If I cannot run within 2 weeks, he wants me to come in for an examination.
