Tried running on the road today, but it did not work out.  Jogged about 200 yards to see how the calf felt.  A little something ther, but not enough to persuade me not to go.  Then walked back to the house to my starting point.  As soon as I started the feeling got progressively worse.  And I knew it would not improve.  So I stopped.  So how far did I go ?  A grand total of .11 mile in 52 seconds.

So now I have to decided to wait 2 weeks or so before running on the road again.

Frustrated I went to the pool.  Swam 1000 yards and did aqua jogging for 40 minutes.  That was one of the "boringest" 40 minutes of my life.  By looking at my fingers and toes I believe I aged by 60 years.  Checked my pulse about 90 seconds after getting out of the water and it was only at 90 bpm.  Wish it worked the cardio more.  But it should be good for my calf.

Swim - 1000 yards - alternating free/breast every 100 yards - 18:56

Aqua Jogging - 40:18 - 4 miles running equivalent

Still cross training.  But one thing I have noticed.  Going up and down a flight of stairs is getting much easier.  My legs have always felt some pain on stairs when I am running regularly.  Seems like now there is a little more spring in my step.

Swim - 1000 yards - alternating free/breast every 200 yards (300 free total, 200 breast total) - 19:04:75

Elliptical - 40:00 - 4 miles running equivalent

Walked a 1/4 mile on the treadmill afterwards to regain my "walking" legs after the elliptical.

Another fun day at the pool.  Did run from my mailbox to my door earlier today.  No pain what so ever.  Too bad it was only about 75 feet.

Went for a run.  3.92 miles into it my calf locked up again.  Had to walk home about 1.9 miles.  That was not fun.
