I ran out to mini GU corner out and back and in the fog which was kind of creepy, visibility was about a quarter of a mile so a little thick... About half way through my run I got a charlie horse in my right calf and it was painful, I could not get it to loosen up, feels like a great big knot. My toe felt all right still a little sore but not bad at all I had more pain from the darn calf than I did my toe, I wonder if I will ever get pain free! Hopefully my calf will cooperate tomorrow, but I might have to go light, I used the "stick" to see if I could work it out so hopefully it will get better quick... I also did the lower body weight training and core training with 80 push-ups in between the sets of crunches.

Average pace 9:00, total time 54:17

See ya Tomorrow.

Don't do any calf exersices until the pain is gone.

Do you think the calf pain was brought on by form changes due to the hurt toe?

From Clay on Thu, Jan 24, 2008 at 16:03:30

Cal,

I don't think so. My form seemed to be the same as usual this morning, but you never know. I ran in a different direction today so I was running on the opposite side of the road from yesterday, which I do every other day...
