2 miler

Friday I ran a shade under two miles. It was a pretty good run, although I stopped at one point because my calf felt really tight. They have been pretty sore the past 2 days. After consulting the barefoot Yodas out there, I am trying to hard to keep my heels up, which essentially is an eccentric contraction (flexing a muscle while it is lengthening), which gives much more DOMS (delayed onset muscle soreness.) I went out today, and I found that my calf is too sore. I followed my fellow barefooter runners advice and just tried to pick my foot up quickly once it touches the ground, but I'm finding my heels are hitting the ground. I need to be 4 years old again with perfect form.
