I am really disappointed. I've heard about "running injuries" but didn't quite understand. How do you get injured from just running? I get it if you step into a hole or trip and fall...but how do you hurt yourself from just running?
Well the pain in my right calf has not gone away. It has intensified and gotten more specific. It is clear that I am not just "sore" but rather I am injured. Walking hurts.. a lot. Running is impossible. Did a lot of reading tonight on calf strains and it is clear that I need to rest the leg for a few days. If I run through the pain, which is what I did last week, I'll just make it worse. Hoping I can rest the leg for a few days and get back on the road.
This is a precarious time. I could easily "rest" for a week, then two, then more, then the whole program is shot. I need to make sure I do the right thing here. I need to give it enough time to heal the leg, but I can't let the program fade away.
Really depressed about this....
