(Late post but with good reason)
It has been a while since I had a good workout. Today I pushed it a bit and got a good workout. I actually got up to 6MPH on the treadmill, but I was still scared to push it for fear of reinjuring my calf.
I will not make the same mistake by pushing it too hard too quickly. I am going to ease into my training even though I feel I can go harder.
I do feel bloated, I need to watch more what I eat.
Overall, mentally it sure did help.
