Yo run gang,

The hardest thing as a runner? Taking time off from running, dang. I've been running pain free since November, a good streak for me, this week, a bit of calf pain has me sidelined. I'm taking the time to ice, self massage with "The Stick" and catch up on my running reading.

As you know, a week off could save you from a month off and sometimes a month off can save you from a year off. My calf seems OK riding the bike so no suicide watch will be necessary, I say this as a reminder to have some diversity in your aerobic portfolio.

Run smart,

Randy Step, an obsessed runner on hold ...

PS: Shameless plug for "The Stick", available at Running Fit. The self-massage products are a very efficient use of time ... but are addictive!

PS: If self help seems to not improve your pain or if the diagnosis has you stumped, consider a visit to The Running Institute for a free evaluation. They are located at Running Fit, Ann Arbor West on Jackson Rd. 734-926-4710.
