    @CLEPANT - Yay for all of the great news!!! :drinker:

    @TAXMOM9093 - OUCH! Sorry that happened! What came to my mind was wondering if you have been getting enough electrolytes, sodium, magnesium, potassium, etc in your diet lately? As hot and humid as it has been the past few weeks, you've likely been sweating a lot of those out and may be low.... But now that you've had that muscle lock up so tight, you'll need to be careful until it releases and heals. Try foam rolling it or take a regular baking rolling pin and give it a good massage too. Even better if you can get hubby or someone to do it for you as another person would have better leverage to really work deeply into your calf muscle. Then gentle stretching and strengthening exercises. My fave? Calf raises on some stairs. Do them with both feet at the same time until you are sure you're healed. Then if you want, in a couple more weeks you could isolate and do them single-footed to increase the workout and make it harder. Good luck! :drinker:

    @Dave Thanks for the suggestions. This same muscle started complaining a couple of weeks ago and I upped my electrolytes and stretching then (OK, honestly I could have been more dedicated with the stretching). But you're right, the weather has been brutal, and more electrolytes might have been helpful. The good news today is that I can walk without shooting pain and stretch it gently (stair raises are still out for now, maybe by early next week).

    I also discovered I can ride my bike if I let my right leg and hip take most of the load and I keep the calf wrapped for a little extra support. Plus the bike made a nice crutch for the short walk I took in the middle of that ride.

    Added 5.5 miles yesterday, 3.75 miles on the bike and 1.75 miles walking (the walking was less than a half mile at a time and very, very slow and gentle to keep my other muscles from stiffening up too much). August total 40 miles

    The plan yesterday was to ride from work to a co-workers house with her, then ride back by myself. We were about a mile from her house when the sky opened up and we got drenched! We loaded my bike in her truck and she drove me back to work in the rain.
    :D
    Adding 7.47 miles.
