Decided to take one more day off as a precaution.  Calf is still a little tight but I think the massage, icing and stretching, as well as everyones healing vibes has really been working.  I feel like I could have run today but again, better safe than sorry.

The calf is still bothering me a little bit today but it is much better than yesterday.  I can walk without a limp but I can still feel the tightness/soreness.  I obviously skipped the run today, but I doubt I could have run on it anyway.  I have been icing, wrapping, and elevating when I can.  I decided not to make a quick trip to the doc today for a couple of reasons:  I don't have a good sports doc and the pain had improved enough that I am hopeful I will be able to run LVM.  I guess missing a run or two at this point isn't going to hurt and I'd rather be safe than sorry at this point.

Bad News!!

I seemed to have injured my right calf muscle today playing capture the flag with the kids.  Can't run on it, can't walk on it without a limp.  Been icing, elevating on wrapping as well as anti-inflammatories and rest.  Didn't happen due to any hard movements that I am aware of it just started hurting like maybe it was a charlie horse and hasn't let up all day.  Unless this thing makes a miraculous recovery in the next few days, the marathon may be out.  Right now I am just taking it a day at a time, hoping for the best.
