I ran today without reinjuring my calf! That is the good news.
As I got strated I could feel it tightening a bit and then to the point that I had to walk, but I had a plan. I was headed to this really steep hill about .4 miles from my home. I had a hunch that if I ran up a steep hill it wouldn't hurt my calf. I finally maid it there walking and jogging. Then I ran up the hill. It is about 100 m and is very steep. NO PAIN! So I walked back down and did it 10 times. Still no pain. I then started jogging home slowly and was fine until I got to my street which is the slightes of declines and I felt the pain within a few steps, so I walked the rest of the way home.
Total 2.4 miles
Tomorrow I have an appointment with the PT. Maybe he can help me figure this all out.
