I went out and tried out my calf and I got about a half a mile into it and the darn thing just seized up on me again, so I limped home. I went and jumped on the elliptical and was able to get in just over 16 minutes before it started to bother me painfully again, after that I stretched and then I finished up with some upper body weight training and some push-ups... I did roll it for a little bit on the big foam roller and it was pretty painful so at this point I really don't know what to think, just pretty darn frustrated and sick of being injured I have been fighting this off and on for the last few years and the injuries are never the same just enough to keep me out of things! I guess at this point I'll just have to take each day at a time and just do whatever my body will let me do until I'm fully healed up, whenever that is!

See ya tomorrow.

Good luck Clay. So sorry you have had such a rough go of it the last while. Wish I had the magic cure but I can't seem to come up with anything much better than what you're doing. Hang in there man!

Sorry Bro. Sooner or later things should start tipping in your favor. Hang there.

Thanks guys. I'm almost ready to quit! I have never been so frustrated before in my life! If things don't improve soon I might be done with running for awhile, as much is I hate to say that;(
