I am really getting irritated by this calf injury now - after a week of no problems, I went for a 6 mile run this morning, only to have my calf start to cramp up again after 4.5 miles. Luckily I wasn't that far from home, and was able to take a shortcut. I am afraid I am going to need to shut it down for a couple of weeks and do some cross-training to allow my calf to heal. I will plan on icing it several times a day, and will also start up on the ibuprofen. I am very disappointed, and can't figure out why this is happening to me again, but would rather get it taken care of now than have to pull out again. |
