Ice. Rest. Massage

What else can I do?

Plan ahead?

Today: rest
8/30 Monday: 45 minute elliptical + upper body strength circuit
8/31 Tuesday: 60 minute spin
9/1 Wednesday: 30 minute swim + upper body strength circuit
9/2 Thursday: 60 minute spin
9/3 Friday: 30 minute row + full body circuit
9/4 Saturday: 60 minute crossfit
9/5 Sunday: test run...stop at first sign of discomfort

That'll make it 7 straight days without putting running strain on the calf...either calf.  Given that it took 3 weeks before the right calf seemed to present no problems, I'm not sure that's going to be long enough.  But then again, I don't think I tended to the injury well.  Now I know better.

On the sunny side, my lower back feels 100%.
