I walked 4 miles up the trail and back. Not counting that mileage obviously since it wasn't running. I can run, but it hurts. So I am resting for 7-8 days.  Prayed a bit the first few minutes and felt better. I know my calf will get better.

The elliptical totally redeemed itself for me today. I did a high intensity workout on it today and it *almost* came close to the same feeling as a speed workout. I've been wearing a heart monitor every morning. I had won it last Sept. at a race. It's finally being put to good use. I was able to hit my max heart rate zone on the elliptical today, with a 1-2 minute recovery in between. If I can do this workout a couple times a week until I am better, I shouldn't lose to much vo2 max right?

It's not running but it's better than nothing. 

I think I may have MTSS. I think I am scared of how long it will take to heal up. I think I need to start wearing a light weight stability shoe. I think I pronate and it's causing me problems. I also had my si joint checked and it's rotated a bit again and I have a leg length discrepancy. I think I need to make some appts. to get myself some help so I can heal and get back at it faster. I also came to terms with the fact that I brought this calf problem on by upping mileage to quickly in one week.  !@#$%^&^&%$#!

I can't believe this is happening to me again...

Strength trained legs today. Then high intensity intervals on the elliptical again. 

I've only run a couple time in the last 11 days. I know it hasn't been that long but I miss it more than you can imagine.

Just checking in.....

 I have felt a major change the last 2 days in the calf. I don't really feel it anymore. I hope that means healing. I know it's not all the way healed, but what a GREAT sign! 

FRB poll: I still haven't seen a Dr. Should I make an appt and have a full exam on the leg done as well as x-rays to be sure of no hairline fracture? Or should I skip past that and go to a PT and get a little Graston technique done? 

I ran from my car to the gym doors. It didn't hurt. At all. Oh I hope!
