I may have made a big mistake.  I ran an 8 mile aerobic builder today.  I felt good energy wise, but started to have some calf pain about 5 miles into the run.  By 6.5 miles in the pain was very intense, but because it had been a while since I had had a good workout I decided to push through it.  The pain got bad enough that it was radiating through the whole calf and even up into the hamstring.  I am now limping.

I did a 2 mile warm-up with strides, then the 8 miles in 42:50 (5:21.5 average), then 1 mile cool down.  Splits were:  5:19, 5:20, 5:25, 5:18, 5:20, 5:27, 5:16, 5:24.  

As bad as my calf is feeling right now I will probably be taking several days off so I can get it feeling good again before SGM.

I hope this is just a scare. Ice,ice,ice. A few days off could serve you well.

Hope the time off gets the calf feeling better.
