Hooray ! Two weeks and no running has been hard but the rest has certainly cured my poorly calf muscle. Lots of stretching ,foam rolling and I have started doing squats . all seeming to work well ! Maybe I'll make park run this week !! I'll let you all know how it goes .!

Ah Good news Samson :-)

Sometimes all it needs is a bit of a rest , but we are an impatient lot at times arent we ?

I still havent got a foam roller, I keep promising myself one but there is always something "more important " that gets priority :-)

Let us know how you get on and Good Luck , hope all your parts are in good working order :-) xxx
