sore heel/ tight calf

Sounds like the onset of plantar fasciitis. Try doing a normal calf stretch with a rolled up towel under your big toe. 30-60 seconds on each leg, both straight and bent knee. Roll the whole bottom of your foot on a tennis ball for a couple minutes. Warm it up in the shower in the morning and avoid going barefoot whenever possible.

Would you run on it, doc?

i agree with PF. mine first presented with tightness in my lower calf before heel pain started. stretch a lot like he said and just pulling your toes toward you with your hand works too. sometimes time off helps but a lot of times it doesn't make a difference. keep stretching and maybe get a night splint for PF if it gets any worse.

Ask your doctor too because it might be something completely different
