Day 11:  When are my calves going to stop hurting?  I ran this morning with the usual warm up and warm down but went a little farther….maybe another half mile.  I walked for about 100 yards somewhere in the middle just to “settle things down”.  My calves still hurt right at the base of the muscle….maybe it’s more of a tendon thing than a muscle thing.  I definitely felt a little stronger with my stride and felt good about what I was doing.  I took yesterday off after struggling with going to work or taking a swim.  Work pressure prevailed but I am still holding to my commitments.  I think I’ll try to swim tomorrow instead of running to give the calves a chance at recovery…  I want to be able to run without that pain…  Thanks again for all the support everyone!
