Good morning... ahh the smell of Apple Pie in the morning!!<br><br>
Susan... I notice when I have something injured or really tight, if I run on it (not a good idea), my HR is much higher. Maybe an altered stride or just pain does that. Lately, I've found a good (for me) way of stretching the calf. I think it actually strengthens the shin at the same time. I just flex my foot up (toes towards knee) really hard and hold it there for about a minute. Then point my toes down (like balet) really hard and hold it for about a minute. A few of these throughout the day has made the calf area feel nice. This is totally outside the "books" but it works for me. I was doing this for my ankle on my "bad" foot and found it helped relieve tight calves. I can do this while sitting at a desk!<br><br>
