It felt like something in my left calf went "CRRRRRK", and that was the end of that run. After a little roadside self-massage and a little stretching I was able to walk back okay. Couldn't run tho.

Freaky.

Hopefully it's just a pull or a strain or whatever and not a tear in one of the little muscles in my calf. It didn't turn black or fill up with blood or anything dramatic, so hopefully it's just mad at me.

    Ouch! Noises from limbs are rarely good. Hopefully it's not anything serious. Take the time to get better!

    i am starting to believe that as long as we don't push past the pain that we heal rather rapidly... I have a calf I tore and it healed quick... I just had to chill (sometimes easier said then done) I am routing for ya man.

    Thanks y'all. It actually feels okay today. A little sore, but I think more RICE and everything'll be fine.

    Michelle—yup, Vibrams. It had been absolute smooth sailing up until this point, too. Damn.

    Becky—I'mma stay off this for a bit. Maybe hit the gym to get my endorphin fix and do some lifting/core.

    Rebekah—I am 110% with you. Pain is your body's way of telling you something's up.
