Well, I have made an appointment for the physio for Saturday morning. I can't get there any sooner so that will have to do.
The calf is still painfull, especially when I have been sitting for a while then start to walk but its not as bad as it was a couple of days ago. I walked for a couple of miles this morning, slowly, but at least I got out for a while. I couldn't think of running on it at the moment though, it hurts most of the time.
I am trying to be phylosophical about it and think that I won't go to Beachy Head. Instead I will spend the money I would have spent there on my physio appointments and get this properly sorted and maybe I can work out a strengthening programme for the calves etc, so that this doesn't happen next time a long event is looming. There is the Neolothic Marathon in April and I will not miss that this time around.
I am sure I will be able to find something to enter to keep the training going before then too. And there is the Benfleet 15 - an off road, very testing course, at the end of January, which I also missed due to an injury (again!) this year.
I can't see myself concentrating on shorter events for long though, as its the distance ones that really excite me. If only I didn't keep getting injured, I could go for all sorts of things.
I will use this winter to try to combat whatever it is that is holding me back.

And I will try to keep blogging, don't want to get all down about not running this time.

Thanks everyone, for the comments. - and sympathy. It helps a lot.
