So I logged 5 miles last night, first run since Sunday - I was hoping the down time would let my calf/ankle muscles recover and I'd be feeling great...not quite. I can barely walk right now, my left calf and Achilles are so tight. I'm not sure what to do. Stretching does not seem to be helping, Bengay provides temporary relief and I'm afraid to use advil or anything to dull the pain for fear I'll end up hurting myself worse.
I don't want to over train and end up useless, but I also don't want to miss too many miles and be unprepared for the race. I HATE GETTING OLD!!!
