Training continues

So nearly 2 weeks of 5k training - having problems only with my calves, but I found an article that tells me why they hurt when I jog and what to do about it. Basically, the muscles get too tight and there is not enough blood circulating. http://www.betterbodz.com/team/aching.html
Besides what the article advises I am gonna have my massage therapist work on my legs. Before, I only had upper body work done. Speaking of which, I started physical therapy on my injured (tendon tears) on my right arm. I am already feeling like it will heal properly and not leave me with years of pain due to scar tissue. If it sounds like I have a lot of physical issues, yes true, due to a sedentary lifestyle both at home and work. Not too late to make some changes and reverse some damage.
As I mentioned I have calf pain when I jog. That is the only problem I am experiencing! I don't mind the hard breathing - hey it's aerobic - but don't-like-dumb-pain. Finding I could climb the steps at the ball park a bit easier - even jogged up them a bit. Nice!
