I'm done for the week. My PT and coach pled with me to hang it up for the week as I have strained my calf muscle. I guess i risk more by pushing it than by hanging it up for a few days and hitting it again on Monday. It pains me to back off but it's important. I will try and do some biking the rest of the week to keep me from going crazy.

Just "ran" 4 miles on the elliptical. That definitely works a different set of muscles. According to the machine I did the 4 miles in 35 minutes. Man, I thought a treadmill was boring.

Hope it feels better by Monday or sooner.

It's a bummer to hang it up for a few days. I was just writing about this today on my blog. Sometimes my mind wants to run when my body needs the rest. Don't go too crazy.....cross train like heck!

Been there, done that. Hope you recover quickly.
