Advice needed...

UPDATE...
With the exception of my calf raises, I was able to get my full workout in! I just took my strength training slow and paid close attention to how my leg was feeling. I was able to get my calf muscle to loosen up and decided to give my run a go on the treadmill. I expected that I wouldn't be able to do my 3.6 miles, but I was feeling really good and was actually able to go 4 nonstop miles...A PERSONAL BEST!!! I was on my feet 3.5 hours following my workout and am not having any troubles that worry me. It's a little sore, but definitely better.
THANK YOU to my all my Spark Friends who offered me tips, advice and encouragement. I appreciated everything!!!
Ok Spark Friends, I'm in need of a little advice...
Monday I did lower body strength training followed by a 3.6mile jog, all normal routine. Tuesday was a non-workout day for me and I felt fine from the day before. Wednesday morning I woke with a tight/sore calf muscle. I did my upper body strength training, during which it loosened up. I then did my 3.6 mile jog with no problems. My calf was okay throughout my workout, but did tighten back up later in the day. Today I was on my feet, walking all day...my calf has been tight/sore all day.
Question...I tend to push through these things and don't think this would keep me from doing my workout tomorrow of lower body strength training (however, I'll skip calve raises) and my jog, BUT should I be more concerned about it? I would really hate to injure myself and have to take a break for healing. Advice???
