PM - lunchtime. Left calf was extremely tender and painful following yesterday's run - so I decided to take it easy today. Started off just planning to walk and then test it a little bit. Turned out to be a bit of a walk/jog for the first mile or so where I was very cautious to not put full weight or power on the leg - and as I warmed up a bit, I was able to manage a very light 3 miles of easy running around 9 min pace, careful not to push into a full run effort. At the end it felt much better than it did yesterday. Will contintue to nurse it along until things feel normal again. Used different shoes and stretched again on the foam roller afterwards. Don't know what happened to the calf and never experienced an injury/pain in that area ever before. Weird.

The good news is that muscles heal quickly with a couple days of rest. Good luck.
