Went to the pool today.  Just as I was about to start two families walked in with a lot of children.  Since the pool does not have a dedicated lap lane I knew I was in trouble.  I was bumped 3 times, and I bumped a kid once.  Lots of "chop" in the water with all the jumping from the diving board.  Swallowed a few gallons of water today.

My PT had told me to try a run before my appointment tomorrow.  So today was the day.  At 170 yards I felt a twinge/pull.  Ran anonther 160 yards then stopped.  So I ran a whopping 330 yards today.  Sensitive while walking now. Looks like I am going to have to look into more than just PT to get this calf better.

Making this entry 4 days later.

My PT wanted me to try to run again.  He said push through the initial twinges to see if it gets better, worse, or stays the same.  So I did.

It pretty much stayed the same.  As a matter of fact I was hurting so bad everywhere else by the end of the run I was not even noticing my calf.

 I am glad I got in a real run, but I am even more glad I did not have what competitive eaters call a "reversal of fortune."  But it was close ;-)

I was surprised how NOT sore my legs were after yesterday's run.  But I had worked Midnight Shift and had not been to bed since my run.

After waking up this afternoon, they were a little sore and stiff.

Went to PT.  Mostly stretches and exercises.  No time for other workouts today.

Soreness in my quads is as bad as it has ever been.  No running until it goes away.  No since running with an altered form while trying to recover from an injury.

Elliptical - 30:00 - 3 miles run equivalent 

Legs still super sore.
