Sorry to hear that. RICE - rest, ice, compression, elevation. And no running for a few days.

indeed. Brought my roller to work with me as well. I'm ok as long as i don't put weight directly on my calf muscle. Feels like someone jabbed it with a long needle.
I'd be cautious rolling your calf if it's a muscle strain. Ice it, keep your leg elevated as much as you can. Advil to help with the pain and inflammation. If your calf has swollen, once the swelling goes down, apply heat.

@DznyGrlSD - don't be so hard on yourself! You've finished a 10k - which is basically half of a half. That's pretty awesome. Ask yourself what you want to achieve with your running. Is it about achieving a particular distance, and if so is it about RUNNING the distance, is it about FINISHING the distance, are you ok with the idea of walking breaks? Is it about achieving a particular time per mile? For a distance? Is your goal realistically attainable for the timeframe or fitness level? Will you be upset if you dial back your goal if you decide that it is not?
As for the C25K, I think the first few weeks of it is great, particularly for someone (like myself) who was never really athletic as it slowly builds up lung and capacity which helps with gaining confidence. But after those initial weeks I felt it ramped up a bit too quickly for someone who is really only just coming off the couch so personally I switched to something else after about week 3.

I didn't realize it either. Read it when I was doing research on shoe brands to replace Asics. Now you know why my closet was full of athletic shoes.....
I'm now using an older pair of running shoes as my gym shoes and that's how I will recycle them. And the pair of Ghost 10s I purchased in a wide width have become my walking shoes, especially at Disney.

2.34@1@8:34. Nasty sinus headache, thankfully the run helps to clear it out for a while.

Still nursing my leg.
Last night - hot tub + swam laps for about 20 mins
today - leg a bit better - did QuickFit and non-impact exercises
I'm stuck on the elliptical at least for the weekend - I have a 10k next Saturday the 9th so hopefully I'm recovered!

Good to hear your leg is recovering. Take it easy during the race - it's not a sprint.

4m on Tuesday.
Feel better!
These are great suggestions. I've heard about running with dogs - it's good for the dogs and for you. And if you're into beer, the brewery group runs sound really fun. (I'd prefer a chocolate run!)

I wish the DLP races would switch to something like this!

can your register multiple distance at the same time aswell?
That I don't know - the announcement didn't mention that. But it would be nice. I always registered for the chalkenges first.

I literally just ran a 5K in my town. I was a sub 7 average mile, finished 10th overall. Great morning!!
