I remember that it got very painful even sitting at a desk in office. I hope it is not that bad this year. Since you already know my take on running streak, I am not going to give you any advice :-).janakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09471795929369394165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1022566277176976821.post-55827976280580564072012-02-06T08:33:27.505-06:002012-02-06T08:33:27.505-06:00Tom,

I assume it's landing oddly on a sidewalk-road up/down section. <br /><br />I'll report on my recovery. I promise no misery reports if things go downhill. I appreciate your concern. Hope to see you at Lake Mingo this weekend. Even if I can't run a full loop, I'll try to do a few miles...and drink a few beers.Chris Ⓥhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14415854268293709962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1022566277176976821.post-48731699750583240472012-02-06T08:25:30.146-06:002012-02-06T08:25:30.146-06:00"This injury is almost identical to last year..."This injury is almost identical to last year's calf strain that ended my running streak at 95-days last February. Hmmm...what's up with my left calf? At least last year it got pulled doing extremely fast speed work on the treadmill. I ran fast and deserved some retribution. I taunted the running gods, and they punished me." You haven't learned a thing.tricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15238608118031263547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1022566277176976821.post-49206201070297840462012-02-06T08:18:14.224-06:002012-02-06T08:18:14.224-06:00Stop running.

I have seen so many runners run on an injury, thus prolonging the abuse. If you must, go ahead and run. I don't want to hear about your misery later.tricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15238608118031263547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1022566277176976821.post-42140714076721594952012-02-06T07:22:33.628-06:002012-02-06T07:22:33.628-06:00Tom and David,
Nonsense! Stop running? Why not ...Tom and David,<br /><br />Nonsense! Stop running? Why not stop breathing too? Crazy talk! The body is pretending to be weak...and the mind must conquer it. I will go forward, step by step.<br /><br />Jeff,<br />I am going to increase my warm up and cool down and seek professional massage. Wife has been rubbing/massaging the calf and I've been doing foam roller plus "the stick." Slightly better this Monday morning...but I'm not running until tonight. I'll know more around 7pm this evening.Chris Ⓥhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14415854268293709962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1022566277176976821.post-3746303035184907412012-02-06T05:37:05.707-06:002012-02-06T05:37:05.707-06:00go get a massage from one that knows runners....do...go get a massage from one that knows runners....do not stop running....warm-uplonger, run 1 mile...cool down longer...for as many days as you need...you are not going to die...keep runningjeffnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1022566277176976821.post-56422454011880878582012-02-06T05:32:00.566-06:002012-02-06T05:32:00.566-06:00Ditto what trice said!!!Ditto what trice said!!!Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12672837522390042935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1022566277176976821.post-78456946302167334802012-02-05T22:21:35.325-06:002012-02-05T22:21:35.325-06:00Suggestion: STOP RUNNING
