I just wanted to let you guys know that I have not abandoned the
group. My calf was getting worse with every workout, so I decided it
was in my best interest to stop and let it heal. I've been doing
Astanga Yoga at home to help stretch the muscles and to keep a certain
level of fitness (it does make you sweat). I'm going to start running
this week (slowly) as long as I have no major pain. Anyone have any
suggestions on some really good calf stretches I can do before and
after running? If all goes well this week, I will be back with the
group next week. Thanks guys!
