Gastrocnemius strain......

Well I found out what I pulled/strained; it turns out it's the gastrocnemius muscle. This, by the way, is the same muscle in the same leg that I ended up straining last year. So I'm out for another week or two on top of the time that I have already taken off. I'm pretty mad about the whole deal, but I'd rather pull it right now then later on in the season when I start racing. In the meantime it looks like I'll just have to keep up my lifting program and pray that my endurance doesn't go completely down the drain, which if it's anything like last year I shouldn't be too badly off. Still optimistic about the season, got my goals, not gonna tell ya what they are though :). That's all for now. ~ Rich
