After taking 4 days off I finally decided to test the calf out.  It seized up on me less than .5 miles in and just kept getting worse as I went.  I won't be racing on Saturday.   It's a bummers, but I'm very greatful I was able to run many good races before getting injured like this.  I'll take a few weeks off and hope it heals so I can jump back into things.  Good luck to all those racing this weekend.  I wish I was racing with you all, but such is the nature of our sport.

I gave it another go this morning because the calf was feeling a lot better last night than it has felt in the last week.  The calf felt better on this mornings run than it did on Monday, but it still tightened up after just a mile so I'm going to stick with my earlier decision to not race on Saturday.
