Pain Must Happen

So I guess if I am going to refer to myself as a runner or jogger then at some point I must injure myself. I think that time has come.

So this weekend I got new shoes, running shoes and running since I got them has been painful. I figured I was just getting used to them, but last night I think I pulled my calf muscle. Today my left calf muscle hurts to extend it, and if I want to work out tonight I think I am going to go to the gym and use the bike instead of staying home on the treadmill. I have been taking tylenol and I am determined that I will not let this effect me long term. I will cool it until Sunday/Monday at the most and if I feel better sooner get back into it sooner.

The old me would have stopped working out and it would be six months before I got back on the treadmill at all. That will not happen this time. I don’t want to look like this anymore.
