It was an easy day. I had an okay sleep. When I woke up my calf muscles were twitching like mad, especially my left one. I did some stretching and massage and decided just to walk through it and not run today. I did some calf raises and it seemed to work well in loosing it up.
We spent the day relaxing at a family friends farm and riding their ATV's. Afterwards I went for a massage and the therapist recommended that I do weights for my calf's. For the past couple of years I've been reluctant to do calf raises because I thought that was the reason for my calf problems initially.
I also have started reading two books. One was recommended by Mark Allen on a website and it is called "The Schwarzein Principle II" and the other is "The Triathlon Training Bible". Both are great. The first one is about diet and metabolism and the second is about triathlon training. The triathlon book also recommends calf extensions for people who are susceptible to calf and Achilles pain. Good diet and sleep is also highly recommended to help repair muscles after training.
A real positive is that I've been eating really well lately.
Tomorrow I'm going to a gym to do some weight training on my legs and calf's.
