Swelling

I haven't been running long. I walked an hour yesterday morning and when I got up this morning to do a 2.25 mile run my legs were swollen, mainly in my calves. And my entire legs were aching so badly. I did not run today. What could the causes be and what should I do?

    It could be anything but mine occasionally do the same thing and it tends to be fluid - my calves and ankles get much bigger. Strangely, it tends to happen more when I am wearing tighter jeans during the day. The best bet it to start keeping a training/swelling diary to see if there is any correlation - maybe even include things like sodium and clothes as these can have an impact. If there is no correlation or it get's worse - go to see a DR
