After work today i went for a run. I should have figured something strange would happen. So while i was running i noticed my feet felt heavy, seriously. I kept going and then noticed my calves felt like thay had NO stretch or give to them. Anyway, i am running along a road with alot of traffic and i am almost getting clipped by passing cars. So i hop off to the side of the road where there is high grass and i sink slightly. I start to high knee through the grass and when i finally get out the my lower leg is throbbing. Its a combination of my soleus and the proximal potion of my achillies just below my calve head. Holy cow I am limping around like crazy. I guess i need to rest it now.....shoooooot!! With the marathon less than 10 days away i am kind of bumming now. Ahh well R.I.C.E is probably the best thing at this point, much to my dismay. Its the same leg that was bothering me a few days weeks ago. Ah well i will post again soon.

wow, i've been getting the same strain lately in my left calf. Wed. morning i could only make it 20 min into my run and i was in too much pain. it was if my calf muscle was swollen and wouldn't stretch at all. i gave it a day off, this morning i started getting it again, but i pushed through and just zoned out the pain. it's a little sore (2hours later) but i'm sure it'll be fine.
give your legs a rest and i'm sure you'll be back on track by marathon day.
HAHHA. We are not as young as we used to be, lol. That feeling you described is exactly what i felt. It sucked so bad. That little break worked friggen wonders on my calf.
