Hi

Thanks for the advice--I am making an appointment with a PT for Monday.

This happened last summer while doing aerobics so there is probably a weakness there. However, I've been gradually increasing running for the last month or so with no problems.

It is an extremely sharp pain on the inside of the calf and it really hurts to walk. I don't think I will even try to run on it until I talk to the therapist.

I'm so upset by this--I've been making such great progress and really like the way my lungs are feeling like they get a good workout. I've done aerobics for years, but it doesn't compare to how breathless running makes me.

I just don't want to lose all of progress I've made and have to start back up at 2 minutes of running!!!!

Sounds like you are on the right path. Just FYI if you dont get help at first try try again. I have had a podiatrist as well as a rheumotologist tell me my knee problems couldnt be helped and dont run. I talked with my chiropractor about this and she has given me some knee stretches that help TREMENDOUSLY, more than any of the PT I did or the taping or multiple knee braces, narcotics, NSAIDS etc. Anyway just thought I woudl mention that it can be really a simple fix. NOw I know when my knee starts to get inflammed I can take some ibuprofen, back of a bit, and do extra stretches (not to say I still dont have rpoblems).

Also, I did my first 5K last year and am training for a 10K now and for me I found that I got disapointed if I set a certain date/goal to do xyz. When I woudl get sick/injured if I coudlnt keep up etc. Now for the the 10k what I have done is printed out a schedule for week by week traning and I check off as I go. For instance I caught a cold about 2 weeks ago and I cant ditch the cough yet so I have tried to hold on teh week where I was instead of just giving up, or if I couldnt do anything for a bit I would see what I could do once I could resume and then see what week that was in the schedule and start over on that week. I dont know if this made sense but it has worked well for me instead of getting all upset over a certain date/goal etc.

great job and keep up the good work

ps I ALWAYS warm up first, then stretch, then run, then cool down, then stretch otherwise I'm in trouble
