I would see the trainer. I have had countless injuries in soccer, but never in my calf; ipulled my hamstring, and also screwed up both quads, my groin, nose, and teeth last season.

I think a good diet might help to speed recovery time… A physical therapist would work wonders. Also, make sure you stretch before you run and ease yourself into it; so many people make the mistake of doing intense workouts out of the blue when they’re not nearly prepared for it.

Also, don’t feel alone in your pain. My friend was getting scouted by really good D1 schools for baseball; Duke, UMich, lot of others. However, he got blood clots and was out for 6 months and is now going to a much lesser D1 school.

Good luck! I am sure things will work out for the best. Cross Country doesn’t start for a while, so you have some time to let it heal.
