    Calf Pain, 50k, Compression Socks

    Did that 10k last month and pulled something in my calf. I take a long time to heal from stuff like that. I tried a short 3 mile run BF and aggravated the problem. Did 12 miles in my minimalist shoes and it was tough. Trying out compressionn socks today for my run.

    Am going to work on running my first marathon in December using the run/walk method. Did my first run 3.2 miles 1/3 barefoot and the remainder in Merrel Truegloves. Ifelt the need for more protection in the onset of training than my VFF's would provide. Feel pretty good right now.

I loved it and plan to do it...
