MRI is scheduled for tomorrow morning

After nursing my right calf since right after Labor Day weekend, I think I may have finally torn it.  I was less than 2 miles into an easy run at a pace right under 10 minutes when I felt a sharp pain in my calf.  I ended up hopping 4 or 5 steps before finally putting some pressure on my right side.  Walking was really slow and not comfortable.  Thankfully, I was able to ride a bike 2 miles back to Ricos.  This is the same calf that I tore back in 1998.
With RnR San Antonio looming this Sunday, looks like I'm going to have my first ever 1/2 marathon DNS after 53 successful attempts.  I've only had 2 previous DNS, both at the 5k distance, the latest coming at the beginning of this year.
