I jumped out of bed at 6 am and headed out the door to give my calf a try and the first mile felt great and my back was good for a change too! My goal was 3 miles but when I hit 1.5 miles my calf started to get stiff but I was able to complete the run and it didn't seize up like it has been. Total time was 28:03 with my Heart Rate average at 148 and my average pace was 9:08, not bad considering it wasn't real hard to run at that pace and my limited training. After the run I jumped on the elliptical for 20 minutes and then I did my upper body weight training and then some push-ups. I iced the calf and it is a little sore as I write this, but I am hopeful now for the future and I feel like I am getting close to being pain free, knock on wood. I go to the PT tomorrow for more of the same on my calf, E-Stym Ultrasound and all that fun stuff. See ya tomorrow.
