i've been having some pain in my left calf area esp when i'm using the treadmill. it really really burns and only gets worse as i walk/jog on it. it sounds similiar to a shin splint. so i think i will alter the interval training till it feels better. perhaps try the recumbant bike instead of the treadmill or something. cause i'm really enjoying the exercise and weight lifting/toning. and now that its summer and chris is off he can watch caitlin for me and i can stay longer at the gym. so thats good!
update: i talked with the trainer at the gym. she said it prob wasnt a shin splint, but instead my peroneus muscle and to lay off the treadmill and do the bike instead for a week and rest and ice my leg when possible. so i did the bike today and my leg didnt hurt. i'm just frustrated because i was "getting into the groove" with everything and now i feel like i'm taking a step back. but obviously i dont want to really hurt myself, so if i have to take it slower than i guess i will have to!

You're not really "taking a step back." You're still making progress, just taking a different path!
Hang in there!
