Chi running
This is what I'm working on right now. Need to work on one legged posture stance and pelvic position.
Today, I found myself moving to my toes (instead of flat foot) and my left calf complained. Though it was complaining last night too for some reason.
After all the calf and Achilles problems last year, I'm trying to be more mid/flat foot running rather than toe running (toe running was my attempt to no longer heel run). Chi running is all about a relaxed lower body (and upper, well, relaxed everything except lower core muscles) so I'm trying to see where tightness is and modifying based on chi readings and see what works.

It's taken most of the week to recover from running mid to front foot on Sunday. My poor calves!
@pink_hebe - I totally feel for you. Know where you've been, hun! You'll get through it. Massage/PT, use The Stick (or foam roll), and ice.
