Congratulations. If you poke around on this forum you will find that lost of us have issues with calf muscles. There is some good advice in this post: nhs.uk/conditions/sports-in... and here is a link to some foam massage therapy tools: physioroom.com/catalog/Foam.... Suggest you read the post from IannodaTruffe in the FAQ section (how to run C25K). Good luck.

Great job on the run. Have a look at those links and see if you can find a way to adjust for your calf.
