I was thinking this morning, what advice would I give someone that was in my spot? Well, I would say shut it down for a week and try to get the calf healed. One week of training is not going to kill you, it's more important to get to the starting line healthy. So I am going to listen to my own advice and shut it down until next Monday. I will be in Orlando so it will warm and hopefully mostly flat running.
As of today the pain in my leg is much much better so hopefully the extra rest will do the trick. I am still icing at night and doing self massage a few times a day. I also bought a pair of compression socks which I will use on all of my future long runs.

I agree with you Rick, take a week off & let the calf healed. I know we runnes take it so hard when we are unable to follow our training schedule. Please keep us updated. Enjoy your runs in Florida. Maria
