Personal:

I decided to join to hold myself accountable for my training and because I love learning from others running experiences. I just started running a little over a year ago and have a lot to learn. I work fulltime as a Manager of Telecommunications for Intermountain Healthcare and go to school online through Weber State University.

55 minutes of elliptical. 15 minutes walking at an incline on the treadmill.

Okay here is where you all shower me with knowledge. I attempted to run for 1 minute at a 9mm and it was not happening. It is not just soreness it is pain in my left calf and now shin. I guess the good news is I felt no pain at all while on the elliptical but it is intense when running and I am afriad I have done some major damage.

I iced like it was my job yesterday and have been wearing compression sleaves as much as possible. There is not much I can do to nurse it while at work but what to do?? I'm praying it's not a stress fracture but since I've never had one I have no idea how to evaluate pain.

great with the icing. You may have to keep up with the elliptical for a few more days. Give it time and eat healthy and sleep 8 hours at least a night!! take some vitamin d too. : D. Last year when I ran the Halloween Half I had a hard time for a whole week. My shins and calves were a mess. I think if you take it easy any worry of a stress fracture will vanish. Just don't do some speed AT all this week. No more pressure on the shin. That's final. : D.

btw I should be at pediatrics at UV Thursday so I will call you. We can have lunch if you want. oh also which calf is the real bugger? just wondering because my left shin and calf are more sore than my right. Not sure if that is course induced, like more left steep turns or something.

Don't get too discouraged. Lots of downhill can really mess up your legs for a while. Like Julie said, just keep up with the icing and do elliptical for a couple more days. Question - are you just icing the specific area that hurts? B/c it might be effective if you fill up a tub with ice cold water and ice the entire lower leg.

Thank you both so so much for your concern. You have no idea how much I appreciate it. I am feeling so helpless.

Julie - Yes it is my left side only. The pain started in my calf and has moved to the shin. Also I am suppose to be running Napa Valley Ragnar this weekend so I may not be at work Thursday. However if I am not feeling better I will not be going. I will definitely let you know and I will leave your prizes for you either way. P.S. thank you so much for your comments on my blog. You made my entire day. :)

Andrea - I am going to do exactly what you said as soon as I get off of work today. Jake suggested it yesterday but instead I just iced the injured area because I'm a big pansy!

Lily has always helped me and told me what to with injuries. You should talk to her :) I do know that if you can elliptical --thats a very good sign indeed. Don't freak out! It happens to the best of us, doesn't mean it;s fun though! R. I. C. E. ! You will be okay, Ill keep you in my prayers girlie!

Rachelle: ice bath every morning. Then, massage. Then get some BCCA with L-glutemine from GNC. Mix 2 scops in water and drink 3 times a day. This sup helps speed soft tissue and muscle repair. Get extra sleep. Elliptical and don't try to run for a few days at all.

You can totally come over and I'll hook you up to my electrical current machine. This increases blood flow to the damaged areas. You are welcome to come over and do it for 30-45 min everyday. (I'd let you take it but it's a $1000 machine, yikes!) This machine helped heal my quad strain in 8 days.

I cannot believe how bad my calves hurt. I have never been in this much pain after a race. Mt. Nebo made us pay for all of that downhill. Give it a couple of days. Keep cross training and hopefully you will be back to normal.
