Finally I went running again. Well, jogging. My calf still is bugging some. I guess I'll just focus on stretching it a lot. But I'm afraid it's a tear. Stretching a tear can't be good, can it?
I saw Never-look-at-me lady and surgical-mask lady today. My how I've missed them.

| | I got all geared up to go today, but my calf was having none of it. I stretched out and thought I was ready to go. Then I took about three steps, stopped, turned around, and started stretching again. I then tried again and got about 80 feet according to Garmin and said, "Forget it." I don't like not being able to run; especially since I had been doing real good up to this point. So I got on the stationary bike and pedalled for about 20 minutes. I also have continued to do my strength conditioning. I've done 50 sit-ups and 10 push-ups every day along with the occasional modified plank. My wife massaged my calf, and that felt pretty good. I was going to wear my head band double-looped around it today, but she took it off. I did ice it a little last night. So I am actually trying to nurse it, which is new for me. I'm kind of bummed out though because I took almost two weeks off from running, and it hasn't seemed to help. :( | |

I pedaled around on the stationary bike this morning. I'm not sure for how long. I was finishing watching the movie Slap Shots, which I thought was going to be much funnier than what it was, but apparently Leslie Nielson isn't in to making the kind of movies anymore that made him a comedic legend. This was a stinker. I watched the last half of it in fast motion trying to read the captions as I went. My rating : two pulled calf muscles down. | |
